Electricians box sinkers

[shed69]

Anyone use any of the box cutters out there for sinking back boxes?... I had one from moorcut direct but not sure its all that.. I didnt use it much but one of the lads did and im not sure if he's mullered it through lack of respect for others tools!!

Any recommendations?

there no good on brick or concrete blocks. Only good on light weight blocks tbh.

Agree , Thermalite blocks only , I would'nt bother TBH , SDS with chisel action is your best bet I think.

There are some old threads on this topic a quick use of the search shows:

I have actually used these a number of times even on those infamous Accrington Nori bricks, probably the hardest bricks in the country, they work if you are patient and let them do the work, force them and they break easily.

I must say that since mine broke, I have never replaced them.
