Sturm AG915S

A tool with a "Soviet" character

The Sturm AG915S double-disk wall chaser captivates with its affordable price, as well as its simple and unsophisticated design in the "Soviet" style. There is little plastic and a lot of metal in its design. Therefore, the tool is strong and does not require particularly careful handling. But this medal also has a downside. The wall chaser weighs a lot (almost 6 kg), so strong hands are needed to work with it to push the device along the cut line.

A sufficiently powerful motor (1600 W) allows the use of diamond blades with a diameter of 150 mm. Therefore, for this model, the maximum depth of penetration is 45 mm, and the wall chaser can be used not only for laying electrical networks, but also for installing hidden pipelines of heating systems. A well-functioning “soft start” function helps to cope with starting jerks when the engine is turned on.

A couple of fly in the ointment

Owners of Sturm wall chasers complain that the engine power is not enough to cut heavy grades of concrete (current protection is triggered, and you have to wait a few minutes until the electronics “allow” you to turn on the tool). There are also complaints about the quality of dust removal, because the wall chaser produces a lot of dust when using regular 150 mm discs (but when using diamond wheels with a diameter of 125 mm, the problem is not so noticeable). And there is practically no user who would be satisfied with a short network cable with a length of only 2 m.

Sturdy wall chaser for do-it-yourself repairs

This model will suit you if you are looking for a simple and strong wall chaser for not too intensive work (the manufacturer in the instructions emphasizes that Sturm wall chasers are a household-class tool). But for professional activities, you should find a more reliable and easier model.
