RE: Conduit installation

[Frost Neil <Neil.Frost@xxxxxxx>]

I have used the SDS Plus chisels and 50mm channelling tool (2x 25mm
conduit)
as well as the box sinker, damn wot a mess......!!!

I also used a template from screwfix (not sure of the code) which had a
spirit level AND a height adjustment thing which meant I could draw a
template for all the sockets etc all at the same height THEN use the
box
sinker which takes around 3 - 5 mins depending on material (In my
experience
anyway)

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.
