Hole Saw Dust Bowl - Dust Bowl for Hole Saw, for Installing Recessed Lights and Works with All Hole Saws

You will have white dust everywhere if you do not use one of these! I made that mistake by using unsuccessful homemade methods.

Very disappointed to learn the product was made in China when there is a similar product made in the USA (I am guessing the one made in China is a knock-off) and costs only about $1.50 more (Drillers Dust Bowl). WHY WOULD ANYONE BUY THIS PRODUCT WHEN IT IS MADE IN CHINA instead of the made in the USA one?

I tried a few similar items. This one is durable because it has a steel washer inserted into the bowl hole. the one i got with my bit at lowes was completely horrible, it did not really work at all. One tore apart at the hole. This one fits flush against the ceiling making a nice seal. I think people still need to be careful if they want to mitigate the dust. For example, you have to be prepared to do something with the drywall/dust/insulation particles that fills the bowl. I drilled the hole, carefully came down the ladder, unplugged the drill, and brought it outside! Then I dumped out the bowl, and drilled the next hole... :)

I needed one of these for a job I was doing. I researched and chose this one because it had a metal washer as opposed to the plastic one that many others had and the cone was clear so you could see your bit placement . While reading the reviews I had seen several which stated they had received a used product, I ordered anyway and after a few days received a used product? What the heck? The plastic is cloudy, with scratches and smudges on it making it hard to see through and precisely place the bit in the correct location. Buyer beware the reviews claiming they received a used product are true, as can be seen in my photos.

Pretty good product. It is worth it to have this when installing ceiling lights. The plastic is flexible. It did me a while to figure it out how to use it with a bigger hole drill.

I installed ceiling lights, using this was a great idea. It collected all the dust. No mess.

I ordered this Dust bowl and thinking it was the one I have ordered in the past, but it is not. This Dust bowl works fine and came a week or so later. Upon further investigation I notice the one I just ordered is made by a offshore company. I also noticed that the original one I ordered is made in the USA. I prefer to support made in the USA products and for a dollar or so more. I will be more careful and will seek out and only by the original one that I understand is made in USA.

No real complaint, its just a silicon bowl with a bushing in the bottom. Not much to break but... This one was used and filthy, you can see the rub line from the hole saw. I dont mind it was used once or twice but dang, rinse the drywall dust off before you resell it!

These will save me time and money! Truly a game changer and great quality.

I like the metal center piece....the plastic ones pull loose. Have to see how this holds up!
