cable chanel

[tintintintin]

Hi I will need to fit some sockets in kitchen and will have to chisel in wall for cable run. Is there a special tool that maybe I could hire to help with the chiseling or is it a case of hammer for England until the jobs done

just goole on wall chaser

for just one cable run, probably not worth the cost

There are lots of such tools out there but they all have drawbacks:

Cost
Dust
Extra collateral damage
Dust
Cost
Risk of injury

Did I mention dust? Don't even think of using a wall-chaser in an occupied house!!!!!

Just get a bolster and lump hammer and get on with it and to hell with your manicure. It's a matter of minutes to manually chop a chase in.

or a chasing bit for SDS drill....

I recently used a chasing bit on an SDS drill, did a fantastic job in seconds with no effort, throughly recommend it It's fun too!

Thanks for all the comments and advice. I have now done the job just got to put cables in etc. I didnt mention it before but I am fitting a kitchen in my daughters first house so there was more than one run to be chased in.
I ended up hiring out a wall chaser for £25, boy is that tool good and luckily it had a dust bag with it although it did still make a bit of mess.
