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

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

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

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.

This is a huge time and mess saver

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.
