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

Although I liked the idea of the steel washers, it didn’t hold up as well as another dust bowl I had that lasted a long time. The bowl itself is a little small and 6” hole saws rub on the bowl.

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

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 thought for the price this wouldn’t be effective but I used this to drill holes into my ceiling for lights and it caught everything so it’s great 10/10

Bowl does whay its supposed to do. Hard to see where your drilling tho.

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... :)

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

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.

Love it
