Electrical box sinker comments please
I'm wondering about buying an electrical box sinker (eg Screwfix
91308) Do they make creating a hole in blockwork for a socket much simpler or are they a gimmick? In my experience the sides of a hole are easy enough to make but getting a reasonably flat back to the hole is the tricky bit. If I do get one then as I only have about 30 holes to make I'm planning to buy a single box sinker and just use it twice to sink the double holes for sockets etc. Will that be successful? Another gadget I've spotted is a wallchaser (Screwfix 11900) which I imagine (hope) is a lot less messy than an angle grinder. Is it?
