12 best wall chasers

Laying electrical wiring in a house with concrete or brick walls is one of the dirtiest and most labor-intensive types of work. Similar problems lie in wait for homeowners who want to hide plumbing in a wall or floor. Facilitate the plight of installers, as well as reduce wall pollution can wall chasers or burs. These devices allow you to get neat grooves where various communications hide completely. Thanks to the diamond discs, the cut is distinguished by perfect quality, and by connecting the vacuum cleaner to a special socket on the casing, you can collect all the construction waste at the stage of formation of the groove. Today, this type of electric tool is widely represented on the domestic market. To find the most suitable wall chaser, experts advise to pay attention to the following parameters.

How to choose a wall chaser

1. Disc diameter. One of the defining moments when choosing a wall chaser is the diameter of the installed disk. The larger it is, the deeper it will be possible to make a groove.
2. Power. With the increase in the size of the disk increases the engine power. It is desirable that the electric motor had some stock, otherwise the tool will often overheat and turn off.
3. Purpose. When buying a device it is important to consider the frequency of its use. For overhauling in one or more rooms, a budget wall chaser is suitable. But the builders who use the device every day, choose a professional model, despite the high cost.
4. Design. Structurally distinguish single-disk and multi-disk wall chasers. A single disc device produces a groove with the same width. And in two-disk models, the width of the cut can be adjusted. However, the groove is not always completely cleared of concrete, which requires additional labor costs.
5. Functionality. Functional content can not worry much amateur masters. But when using a wall chaser within a few hours, the operator will immediately feel the advantage of devices with a smooth start, electronic speed control, an anti-vibration system, and overload protection.
