6 best wall chasers with vacuum cleaner function

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Modern building standards imply the hidden laying of communications in a house or apartment. Both electrical wire and plumbing pipes are hidden in walls, floors and ceilings. Chasing chasers are capable of making grooves with the required dimensions quickly and safely. Since during operation a huge amount of dust, stone, brick and concrete crumbs is formed, it is impossible to do without connecting a vacuum cleaner during chipping. Therefore, most models are equipped with special hose adapters. A wide range of furrow makers is presented on the domestic market. They differ in both cost and technical parameters. The recommendations of our experts will help potential buyers choose the most suitable tool.

Selection recommendations

Appointment. Experts advise starting your search for a wall chaser by defining clear tasks.

1. If the tool will work in the hands of electricians, then perhaps a lightweight and compact device that is capable of making not very deep (20-40 mm) and not very wide (10-30 mm) grooves will do. Let it be inferior in power and dimensions of the furrow, but it is convenient to work with it on walls and ceilings.
2. When laying water and sewer pipes, you will need a unit capable of making wide (up to 50 mm) and deep (up to 65 mm) grooves. In this case, the high power of the model and the large diameter of the saw blades come to the fore.

Types of wall chasers. The entire tool can be divided into two groups according to the number of installed disks.

1. Models with one saw blade make only one cut per pass. This type of wall chaser is a lot like a grinder. The advantage of such a tool is the ability to form non-standard wide grooves. But the performance of the device will be low.
2. Double-disc chasers allow you to make two cuts with a given width in one pass. Moreover, the groove will be perfectly flat. However, such a tool has a limitation on the minimum and maximum furrow width.

Power. Each manufacturer of wall chasers has different models of power.

1. The tool with a 900-1500 W electric motor is suitable for cutting shallow and narrow furrows. Typically, such engines are equipped with light and compact models, which are convenient to work with outstretched arms.
2. To make serious niches in walls or floors, it is better to stop at a powerful wall chaser (1800-2600 W). But the more powerful the apparatus is, the more weight it will have.

Supporting systems. Since the wall chaser is a powerful power tool, it is equipped with a number of important systems for durability and safety during work.

1. The contact electronics are responsible for maintaining the disc rotation speed selected by the operator, regardless of the load.
2. Overload protection reacts in a timely manner to overheating of the tool, turning off the motor.
3. Jamming of the rig is a serious problem when chasing. Most modern models are equipped with protective couplings.
4. Soft start limits the starting current when starting a powerful unit, prolonging the life of the engine. In addition, the operator's work is safer since the tool does not jerk when switched on.

Equipment. When choosing a wall chaser, you should pay attention to the complete set of the model. Experts consider important elements:

1. distance washers;
2. circles;
3. chisels;
4. hose;
5. additional handles;
6. keys;
7. case.
