Used electric base online for the first time recently and there prices were great. As in better than I was getting over the counter! Now have a garage load of White hager sockets and switches. £2.30 for a double pole double socket. About 70p for a 1 gang light switch. Proper bargains
The price is about the same as Amazon. I just got a fresh pair of ck side snips with the notches for 1.5 and 2.5. They We're £20 and the standard side snips from that set were £15
Have always used hollow wall anchors with an applicator tool like these

Really easy to use and only leave a small hole if removed (just use a drill bit for metal)
I use a makita sg1250 wall chaser
A Bosch gas35 m class for dust extraction
And an SDS drill with a scutch bit or a tile lifting bit for scraping out the back boxes
Just buy a wall chaser and decent dust extractor. A floor to ceiling chase can be done in less than 10min with minimal damage. Just chase and take the middle out with the SDS with a flat bit on. With a bit of practise you can cut back boxes out too.
I ruined an L class metabo in a day chasing. The m class ones are a lot of money but they will handle the dust much better. I have just got some dust bags with a zip at the bottom too so really easy to empty and reuse.
