DADE

[ImpededLoop]

Well I thought I had all the tools and gadgets going! I bought a dust and debris eliminator (DADE) this week and I'm really impressed.

It's used for catching the dust from drilling downlighters. Probably the simplest tool I own, but definitely one of the best (perhaps after my wire coat hanger!)

Here's a link for anyone else who hasn't got one: Simple Ideas - Products - http://www.simpleideasuk.com/products.htm

I'm now wondering what else I'm missing out on....

They've been about in various forms for years.

How easy is it to see where you are cutting?

Very easy. It's made from a rubber material so you can pull it down and position it accurately before drilling.

I'd seen the rigid type with the adjustable cutting blades before, but hadn't ever looked at the DADE

Just get one of those microwave cover things.

A handy yoke,and it gives you several minutes of orderly panic,instead of the usual instant screaming,on finding a water pipe with your new,sharp hole-saw...

I have been using a mates for a while, but bought one last week on the bay of E, £17 delivered, then low and behold I spotted them in the wholesalers yesterday morning, £11+Vat lol

Not just the difference in cleaning up afterwards, my skins not as dry since using one, the old plaster dust seems to suck all the moisture from my skin, but not anymore lol great wee invention.

To be fair your linked one does look like a more refined version of the last one I saw.

Know all about the older adjustable ones and the utter chaos that's caused when the adjuster loosens itself!

Been using one of these (well now on my 2nd/3rd) for 7 or 8 years now.

One of the best things in the van. Wouldn't be without it.
