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.

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.

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 had multiple 6 inch holes to drill for can lights in a 5/8 inch drywall ceiling and the guys I had working for my wouldnt use it because they couldnt see the tip of the bit to tell where the center of the hole was. I didnt have a longer bit and they went ahead without it; dirt and all. I think it would work well with the right hole saw and still plan on using it in the future when drilling through some aluminum flashing.
