Wall Chasers - ToolsRUs
Convenient, fast and very powerful, wall chasers are handheld power tools used by masonry workers as well as electricians to cut grooves into brick walls. The tool features one or dual rotating abrasive discs - similar to a grinder - that protrude from the flat of bottom of the tool perpendicular to it. The discs cut into brick to make grooves when held against a wall and are pulled or pushed in a given direction.

Masonry workers construct brick walls first then use a wall chaser to carve out a channel in which to run electrical pipe or wiring. There is plenty of empty space for wiring and other components in a wood-framed wall, but brick walls are solidly built. The wall is built first then the channels or grooves are made for the purpose of running electrical cables. This task was originally accomplished by using a hammer and chisel to make the groove or chase. While this still might be done over small areas where a power tool is impractical, a chaser is almost always used.
Most chasers feature an adjustment mechanism that lets you increase or decrease the depth of the abrasive disc. It may be necessary to cut a deeper or a wider chase to accommodate larger wires. Regardless, adjusting the discs on a wall chaser can be done quickly. The tools typically have a dust collection bag attached or a fitting to channel dust away from the work area to prevent it from bothering the operator. You should always wear a mask when using a wall chaser to reduce the amount of fine dust particles you inhale. Also, always wear protective eyewear to keep brick pieces from damaging your retina as well as ear plugs for the loud noise.
You make horizontal chases by pushing the tool, while vertical chases are accomplished by pulling it towards you. A good, versatile chaser should allow for both types of cuts. Because of the power needed, wall chasers are not cordless. They also feature a useful helper handle atop the blade area for two-handed operation. Additional features may include a depth scale to make quick adjustments, overload and heat protection, soft start function and a safety trigger lock.
