00:00Okay, so if you've ever drilled into a ceiling and ended up with a face full of concrete dust,
00:04blinking like you just walked out of a sandstorm, yeah, this video's for you.
00:09I went down a rabbit hole looking for the cheapest, most effective little dust catchers
00:13you can slap on a drill, and honestly, some of these cost less than a coffee.
00:17So here are my top 5 drill dust collectors for overhead drilling,
00:21and where to actually get them for a good price.
00:24Starting off with the electric drill dust cover ash bowl,
00:27this one's basically the crowd favorite.
00:30It's a simple bowl-shaped cup that slides onto your bit and catches everything falling down at you.
00:35What I like is the depth of the bowl,
00:37it's roomy enough that you can drill a couple of holes before you need to dump it out.
00:41It's $4.48, it's got a 4.8 rating with almost 5,000 sold,
00:46and for that price there's really no reason not to keep one in your toolbox.
00:50It's the kind of thing you buy once and then wonder how you lived without it.
00:55Next up, the dustproof cover impact drill bowl,
00:57and this is the budget pick of the whole list at $3.34.
01:02It's the cheapest one here, but it still does the main job,
01:05it grips the bit, sits flush, and stops that fine powder from raining onto your head.
01:09The rubber's soft enough to flex when you press up against the ceiling,
01:13which matters more than people realize because a stiff cover just pops off.
01:184.7 stars, over 4,700 sold.
01:22If you're just doing a few anchors for a light fixture or a curtain rail,
01:25this is honestly all you need.
01:28Third, we've got the household electric hammer drilling dust cover.
01:32This one's aimed at people using an SDS rotary hammer rather than a little cordless drill,
01:37so it's built a bit tougher and handles the vibration better.
01:40If you've ever tried using a flimsy cover on a hammer drill,
01:44you know it just shakes itself loose, this one holds on.
01:47It's $4.50, 4.7 stars, and over 4,500 people have bought it.
01:52For anyone doing real masonry or concrete ceilings, this is the one I'd point you toward.
01:58Number 4 is the Universal Scalable Rubber Dustproof Bowl,
02:02and this is the one I'd call the upgrade pick.
02:04The word scalable is doing a lot of work here, it stretches and adjusts,
02:08so it fits a much wider range of bit sizes instead of being locked to one diameter.
02:13That means one cover for your whole bit set.
02:17It's $6.56, so it's the priciest on the list, but it's also got the best rating at 4.9
02:23stars.
02:24If you're tired of buying a new one every time you change bit sizes, spend the extra $2.
02:30And rounding it out at number 5,
02:31the single-pack electric hammer drilling dust cover at $3.56.
02:36This one's kind of the sweet spot near budget price, but a 4.9 rating,
02:41which is the highest on this list tied with the last one.
02:44Reviewers keep mentioning it fits snugly and doesn't slide down the bit while you're working,
02:48which is the number one complaint with these cheap covers.
02:52Almost 3,800 sold.
02:54If you want the best rating without paying the premium, grab this one.
02:59Alright, that's the 5.
03:01All the links are down in the description, so just tap whichever one fits your setup.
