    In all the years that I was doing house wiring I never thought to use a scutch chisel. In fact, I do not remember ever seeing such a thing. Scutch hammer yes, scutch chisel no. Now they tell me!!
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Guys, guys, guys, are we to give ALL our tricks of the trade away?? :D

    Scutch chisel for me too - 85% of the time. If it's an empty property and time is tight then the wall chaser gets plugged in, now that's dusty!
