Accidents happen from time to time, you isolate the circuit ( or you think you have) for what ever reason you dont check it to make sure .............................. you get the idea I am sure.

Which would you rather intrust your life to ,

I can recommend the Irwin hacksaws. See http://www.tooled-up.com/ for a bigger selection of tools (not always cheapest but hell of a selection).

Get an 18V cordless drill off SF on offer.

You need a scutch chisel!

Familiar with demolition screwdrivers? I have them on my wish list http://www.screwfix.com/prods/86898/Screws/Screwdriving/Screwdrivers/Wera-Screwdriver-Set-Chisel-6Pc

WTF would you ever use one for?

I honestly have no idea, I have never even seen anyone with one, never mind actually used one.

For chasing out by hand. It's a clicky picture

It has been said on here a number of times they are superior. May I suggest if you have never used on you give it a go before being too negative?

Having never used on myself basic physics would suggest it was less likely to move when struck and a greater force would be applied from the same hammer force as the teeth have a lower contact and therefore greater tip pressure.

OK seen that one is done to death.

I use a box sinker and a wall chasing chisel with an SDS drill. Have tried a wall chaser before but broke it and found it was much faster with a wall chasing chisel anyway.

this is true, but a large screwdriver is lighter to carry with you in ur normal tool bag, and has more uses...

I do see your point with the big screwdriver
