Every trade is prone to specific occupational hazards. Being exposed daily to
various sources of dust is bad for the only lungs you’ll ever have. When work is
done in an inhabited dwelling (lots of recessed and ceiling fan lighting is done
in bedrooms) there is an additional incentive for protecting the lungs of your
customers as well as additional clean up labor. Beside wearing a respirator (which
only protects you), you now have the option to install this VACUUM ADAPTER on your
Hole Pro Shield cutting/dust catching tool. Sadly, most of the electricians do
not understand what dust is doing to their lungs before it is too late.
This vacuum adapter can be easily installed by drilling a hole with a hole saw
on the bottom of the Hole Pro transparent shield, fastening the adapter to the
shield with a plastic nut provided inside the adapter kit.
My Fein vacuum came with a RUBBER SLEEVE that makes an easy, fast connection
between the vacuum wand and the vacuum adapter. I have used electrical tape
wrapped around the bottom part of the adapter in order to make the connection
air tight, strong enough to hold the weight of the vacuum hose, and easy to
dis/connect. Great product, great company.

This product saved me the headache of drywall dust all over the room. The first time I was cutting holes in the ceiling with another product the Klein hole saw, it created so much dust in the room even with the dust catcher that I had to wash all the curtains and couch covers. I have kids and it was not good for their health or my wife and I. This Hole Pro shield solved that problem. Other than a few dropping of insulation on the floor, It was more from me trying to fit the cans in the holes, there was no mess at all and not dust in the air.
