Re: Electrical box Sinker

["Mal Lansell" <mlansell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's the whole point of a box sinker - to cut the hole in the brick!

I thought I had thick plaster, but even I can't fit a shallow back box.  I
usually use a scutch hammer to chip a hole for the socket - it's quicker
than a chisel.
