The Trick to Drill a Hole in the Ceiling WITHOUT Dust Falling on You.

Need to punch a hole in the ceiling?

If you have to fix a ceiling light, you have no choice!

The concern is that by drilling a hole in the ceiling, dust and small debris can fall on you.

Which can be dangerous for your eyes!

The Trick to Drill a Hole in the Ceiling WITHOUT Dust Falling on You.

How To

1. Take a cardboard glass and cut it to the height of the drill bit.

2. Make a hole in the bottom of the glass to pass the drill bit.

3. Begin to very lightly drill the hole in the ceiling without using the glass, but just to make a mark.

4. Now place the cardboard glass on the drill.

5. Use the mark you made just before to continue drilling in the same place.

There you go, no more dust falling on you and on the floor :-)

It falls directly into the cardboard glass.
