I know a couple of boarders that bought the Makita ones but never use them now as is just too slow. @TonyM is the man to ask

Cheers olican, that was kinda what I was getting at. Is it worth buying all the batteries and chargers I would need to give it a try or just a waste of money. Nice one

i use multi tool for cutting sockets.

 

[WazzaPl]

Use a multi tool myself and I find it ok, just from what I have seen they look like they may be a bit better at cutting tighter sockets. Think I am gonna have to give them a try

All new to me this muti tool and router? Can anyone send me a link?
Used for cutting out sockets?

I bought the Hilti one but never use it. Only bought the bare tool as I have batteries and chargers. Pad saw is neater.

Less dust , less kit to carry and get nicked

Multi tool is the tool for cutting out sockets. Neat and no break out on the back of board.

Socket beads are the way forward, you can cut out with a spoon and still be neat

What is your preferred type/size of spoon Oli?
Have the socket beads been altered to allow for less thickness of plaster?

I’ve been using a roto zip for years it’s a great bit of kit

I've got one of those, but never bother using it now.
