If you need to save time and effort cutting drywall holes, use this tool. If you need to cut holes in a prison wall, lumber, or plaster lath, do not use this tool. I have used it to easily cut 12 holes for recessed lights and have not had an issue with it. Regarding durability, I’m not sure it would hold up for cutting recessed light holes all year long. That’s why professionals buy the hole saws at $25+ per size. I needed four 4″ and eight 6″ holes, and this one $30 bit did the trick for both. (If you’re only cutting drywall and can avoid rafters/joists/lath or other obstructions, I could see this bit holding up for a long time though.) Some reviewers complained about the dust shield rotating. Just make sure that when you insert the drill bit into your drill, you tighten the chuck against the bit while leaving some space for the dust shield and washer to spin freely around the bit. The bit is plenty long enough to leave a gap for the shield. Then, when you are drilling and the side cutters start to bite the drywall, the shield comes in contact with the ceiling, and the shield will stop spinning.

If you buy this, take care to make sure the plastic catch basket doesn’t spin and gouge a circle in the surrounding sheetrock. Better instructions detailed would be greatly appreciated. If you are only cutting 1 – 3 holes I recommend you used a regular circular hole cutter and save your time, money and the land-fill.use newspaper to catch the majority of the dust.

Didn’t think the dust catcher would make a difference. Sometimes, it’s good to be proven wrong. Quickly and easily cut the correct size hole to install the Halo lights. Highly recommend.

I used this to cut into a 1/2” sheet of mdf board because my local Home Depot didnt have anythjng else in stock. This is mainly uses for sheetrock it says but worked fine for making a 6” inch hole for making my own cornhole board

The one thing I never saw in the pictures or description is that the divots are spaced out in 1/4″ increments, which works fine if you’re drilling a hole that works with that. I needed a hole that didn’t match up with those divots. I was able to get it tight enough but I recommend tightening it after each hole. I did’t do that initially and after 3 holes one of the cutters slipped out 1/4″ and messed up my ceiling in the process. 🙁

The tool work real good until contact was made with a truss. The tool then lost position and made a bigger hole then needed.

Simple design and construction. I have used similar products before, so instructions are simple. The catch design could be better if it was spring loaded to stay against the ceiling. I anticipate that to be the first thing to break. Overall it gets the job done if you let the tool work and dont try to force the cut.

It makes quick work of the project. Easy to adjust.

Reasonable price for a hole saw to make larger holes for stove pipe and dry vents through sheetrock..don’t think it would be good for wood but will scribe a line to follow with a saw.

Product didn’t look as if it would hold up and performed perfectly as advertised. I would not hesitate to use this tool again or loan it to a friend.

It was perfect for cutting the hole in the ceiling without making a mess

Work good for 6” holes for recessed lighting. Make sure you have your drill clutch set to low and gradually increase to where you are comfortable. It can get away from you.

but this tool for cutting holes in my ceiling for the installation of recessed LED lighting. I liked this tool because it catches the dust (my ceiling has a popcorn texture) and also because it is adjustable. I drilled about 9 holes in total. The first few that i did i was really fighting to get a clean hole. for me the key is using a powerful drill, and keeping the speed up.then its important to lean the drill a little bit in every direction to make sure that the blades are cutting all around the hole. before i found this out, i had several instances where the blades stuck on one side or where the high torque caused 1 or both of the blades to slip outwards, scratching my roof outside of my desired hole diameter. I was able to fix the roof with some plaster, popcorn ceiling patch and latex paint but it added some complexity and cost to my job. If you need just one size it might be preferable to go with a different design since the blades slipping were my biggest issue. Overall i’m taking off one star for lacking usability. but on the positive side, when i perfected my technique i got very clean holes, dust was caught, and my size was perfect.

Did a good job for cutting Sheetrock for lights. Other than lock screw coming loose every now and then, it was great for the price.

Easy set up to drill out drywall for a ceiling fan mounting box. Drilling opening was easy with firm but not excessive pressure. Small pilot bit can tend to wander a bit so stay focused and hold drill steady. 90% of dust captured by plastic pan. A bit pricey.
