RE: Conduit installation

["James, Daniel" <daniel.james@xxxxxxx>]

The other thing to look at if you are doing back boxes, is one of the
templates you can buy for these.

I cannot find a picture online, but it is basically a stitch drill
template,
about the size of a double gang box, but can be used for singles too.

I used one of these alot, I could then knock out a back box in under
20mins,
(I know not box sinker speeds, but this thing was under a fiver) - 

There are some shots of the wholes I dug out with this on my website:

(this site is work in progress, but feel free to have a look!)

Aidan,

IMO the box sinker is more worthwhilst than the 
chisels - they are ok, but I finbd it more efficient to 
cut two tracks up or along the wall with a normal flat 
sds chisel first, then use one of the conduit shaped 
ones to clean the slot out.
