Hi Steve

            Just had a look at your site was interested  in having a look at that box sinker .It appears to make a nice clean hole ,havent heard of anything like that here in Australia .I see you took the dive and bought Homevision ,i have just emailed an order to  Rod Stephens of digihouse for Homevision and a couple of modules to start with.How do you find comfort alarm system ?Here it is actually dearer than Homevision .I like the intercom feature and the x10 as well but as an alarm system i believe the Australian alarm panels would be hard to beat.Im of course biased a little as my good friend John Hola designs and manufactures the Genesis Alarm system which i use.

I have some pictures of the box sinker in action.  Well worth the money, a
bit messy though.

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cooperhouse then goto Home Automation on the
top menu and Box Sinker on the side menu.

Aidan,

IMO the box sinker is more worthwhilst than the
chisels - they are ok, but I finbd it more efficient to
cut two tracks up or along the wall with a normal flat
sds chisel first, then use one of the conduit shaped
ones to clean the slot out.
