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

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 purchased this first and foremost because I was drilling holes in my ceiling to install new pod lights. I purchased this particular model because I thought the metal ring would prove more durable and long-lasting than any of the plastic ringed alternatives. I couldnt have been more wrong. After putting it on my drill for the very first time and drilling into my ceiling, the metal ring actually became unscrewed from itself and then leaked all the dust in the bowl all over me and my bedroom. This is exactly what I didnt want to happen. I cant believe that they put the ring on so shoddy. The ring would also not screw back on evenly as part of the plastic flange of the bull had become warped. So this made my dust Bowl literally unusable. I ended up returning the product and I purchased the plastic ringed alternative (which worked great). I highly suggest everyone stay away from this particular model and just buy the plastic ring from the get-go. Yes its a little more expensive, but its worth it.

I bought two of these - the second thinking I must of used the first one incorrectly. But they both ended up the same. When drilling, the grommet (both plastic and metal - depending on the particular size product) transfers too much heat to the rubberized bowl most proximal to your drill bit - overheats and essentially melts. I tried you-tube to see if I was doing something wrong, no real informative information there. The product itself comes with no instruction whatsoever. Unless Im missing something obvious - I wouldnt buy the product again. Twice is enough.

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

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.

This product was perfect. I was installing recessed lighting in a rental house. It was between renters. I bought the Dust bowl to help contain the mess. It was easy to use and served its purpose. I will Conroe to use it in the future

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

Never cut a hole for recessed lights before. Let alone a holes 6 inches across. If I had not had this product to help catch the sheet rock and insulation it would have been a huge mess. Did it catch everything ? No but it is light years ahead of just letting it fall all over the place.I would recommend it.
