Grrrr..bloody box sinker. Halfway through a complete
re-wire / new install today and the bloody drill
snapped off the arbour. Yes you can order new arbours,
but it was damn inconvenient trying to chisell
back-boxes out by hand.
To answer your question..it takes between 3 - 5
minutes to cut back-boxes into clinker block or brick
and under a minute into celcon block. My cutter is
still sharp 18 months on..and it has been hammered
(litterally) but I do use a pneumatic SDS plus drill
not a wimpy percussive mechanical thing

I'm about to help my brother-in-law embark on his
flood wiring project and<BR>
have a couple of question for those who use the Box
Sinker.<BR>
<BR>
In screwfix they state it takes approx 3 mins to cut 1
box, is this<BR>
reasonable?<BR>
<BR>
Is there any noticeable difference between cutting
into breeze block and<BR>
brick?<BR>
<BR>
Anyone know the predicted life of the cutter before it
gets blunt?&nbsp; Can it<BR>
be replaced?<BR>
<BR>
Cheers<BR>
