After reading the comments on here about dust-storms with "proper" chasers, I decided to try out one of the alternatives.

I must say I'm rather impressed. The tool directs the bit underneath the top layer of plaster so that the debris goes straight down to the floor instead of into the air.
However it does look like it would take a bit of time to do a lot of chasing, and although I only want to be chasing in my own house, I'm wondering if there are any faster tools.
I'm an SDS-virgin so have been reading up about the chisel-action on these drills with interest. Now I have seen the following bits:

Are either of these any good?
On the subject of box-sinking, are the tools you can buy any good? They seem to cost over £100 so I am hesitant to buy one without knowing.
