RE: New House - Flood Wired - Am I right to be scared ?

["Hawes,Timothy Edward (GEG)" <haweste@xxxxxxx>]

More bad form replying to my own post, but for those that are interested,
I've dug out the Screwfix details number for the SDS skirting board chisel
(also see Screwfix catalogue 72c, page 89-91 for more SDS accessories)

Part # 15097 (GBP 26.99)
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/sea/searchresults.jsp;jsessionid=ZDIEPWFBTM5D1CJO2C4CJ0Q?_dyncharset=UTF-8&q=15097&n=&pn=1&pd=1&pi=1&cn=1&cd=1&x=0&y=0

The same item also seems to be part of this kit (part # 68574, GBP 189.99)
which includes the box sinker gear.
