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

I needed one of these for a job I was doing. I researched and chose this one because it had a metal washer as opposed to the plastic one that many others had and the cone was clear so you could see your bit placement . While reading the reviews I had seen several which stated they had received a used product, I ordered anyway and after a few days received a used product? What the heck? The plastic is cloudy, with scratches and smudges on it making it hard to see through and precisely place the bit in the correct location. Buyer beware the reviews claiming they received a used product are true, as can be seen in my photos.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
