BLU-MOL Dust Bowl for Hole Saws

Was outstanding at containing the ceiling drywall dust. I did three bedrooms without having to move out all the furniture, take off the bedding, or vacuum the walls and floor afterward.

Using a dust bowl should be standard practice when installing recessed lighting. This summer (2015), I used this exact bowl to install 6 inch recessed lights into my ceiling in my living room. It was a huge game changer because it catches 90% of all the stuff that falls on your head when your cutting holes in your ceiling. I give it 3/5 on Quality because after 3 drilled recessed lighting holes, my drill burned out the Yellow ring in the middle and was shredding the bowl every time I used it.Still – even when it was burning up – it was catching most of the dust. Have a big contractors garbage bag handy and go-for-it. This dust bowl keeps clean up easy.

Works as expected. Much better than another person with a vacuum cleaner.First 4 holes were flawless. 5th hole the edge of the bowl left a ring on the ceiling. Haven’t had time to research why yet. It didn’t matter on this job because the customer had other repairs and painting to do. Just a heads up.I still like it.

Worked great covered under where I was using it & no dust on covers. Very little cleanup

Works like a charm. It captures all of the dust that is created when cutting a hole out of your drywall; at least from a ceiling. I have not tried it on a vertical wall yet. It does become difficult to see your mark or pilot hole after the first use, but you just need to wipe a “window” for you to see with, or just rinse it out between each hole. If you want to compare (and don’t mind the mess), cut your first hole without it and then your second hole with it. This is a must when installing recessed lighting – you’ll never cut another hole without it!

My only complaint is after a few holes it gets hard to see through the clear plastic to get it centered on the next hole to be drilled.

Works great. Not a speck of dust. I could see the wear on the plastic center due to the chuck. I did a little retrofitting with two metal washers that solved that problem. This will last for years.

Fits perfectly to any drill bit. Amazing

Too deep for some drills

Easy to use because it’s made out of a very flexible material. Did an excellent job of catching the drywall dust.
