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

It’s ideal for not making a mess when putting in lights in an established home. You do need to clean it so you can see where to put the pilot bit.

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 installed LED lights into plaster ceilings and this bowl caught everything and made the install very neat and easy!

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.

Works great! I expected a little dust to leak out while cutting the ceiling drywall for recessed lighting, but absolutely no dust came out. Bowl is flexible enough to allow for cutting all the way through drywall. Had a vacuum standing by to pick up dust but it wasnt needed. I would suggest, after cutting all the way through and pulling the plug down, leaving the bowl up against the ceiling to let the floating fog of dust thats within the bowl to settle down to the bottom. Great price for a great product.

Item worked great to install my recessed lights, no more drywall dust flying everywhere. Used it to install 8 recessed lights but by the 4th or 5th one it started buckling with very little pressure. Would recommend for quick project not for prolonged use on big projects.

So Im not sure whats going on with Amazon but these seem like theyre used, the plastic is real roughed up and the label / sticker has gotten wet like it was washed. Really frustrating, I sent the first one back and got another and its the same. As far as quality it seems well made, the metal collar will stand up way better than the other brand with the red plastic collar. I want to give it 5 stars but cant due to it being the second used one Amazon sent me.

Worked perfectly. I use to use cut out pizza boxes and other random items but this was perfect. Barely any mess. Can use several times. Easy to clean.

Easy to put on drill and allow me to cut 4 holes in the ceiling without dirtying the floor with drywall. More transparent would be better, to see where you are drilling, but it works fine.
