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

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.

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.

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 ordered this Dust bowl and thinking it was the one I have ordered in the past, but it is not. This Dust bowl works fine and came a week or so later. Upon further investigation I notice the one I just ordered is made by a offshore company. I also noticed that the original one I ordered is made in the USA. I prefer to support made in the USA products and for a dollar or so more. I will be more careful and will seek out and only by the original one that I understand is made in USA.

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.

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 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.

This is a huge time and mess saver

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
