BitBuddie dust & slurry shroud for drills and saws of maximum diameter 8” (20 cm). Ideal for construction and renovation work.

BitBuddie dust and slurry shroud for drills and saws, with adjustable opening of maximum 8" (20 cm) in diameter. This product is ideal for construction and renovation work where asbestos, concrete, drywall (Gyproc) or stone dust may be released. Sold individually.

Bitbuddie manufacturer’s code: D1908.

This shroud is made of flexible clear plastic and saves time and money when performing clean-up or decontamination work. It allows using power tools such as drills and saws without creating a hazardous dust cloud. The dust shroud can be used with diamond drill bits up to 8" (20 cm) wide.

To use, simply connect the dust shroud to a vacuum attachment, cut the shroud opening to the required size and place the shroud over the drilling spot. A vertical slot may also be cut, for use when cutting drywall (Gyproc). While the vacuum is on, the suction effect will keep the shroud in place without requiring any other clamp. This dust shroud is also particularly useful when drilling holes in a ceiling.

Dust can cause many health problems, including skin irritation, respiratory problems and allergic reactions. The lungs are particularly vulnerable, as they are constantly exposed to the hazards of the dust we breathe. It’s therefore important to take preventive measures, which is why we offer you this dust collector, because for Sylprotec, your safety is our priority ^Tm.

The BitBuddie is the professional contractor’s n°1 choice for dust control when using a hand-held drill, to provide a dust-free working environment. This device captures 99% of the dust generated during drilling. Its quick and easy installation makes it an indispensable accessory. The transparent shell gives contractors the visibility they need for optimum control.

Our drill dust collector is a smart buy for several reasons. Firstly, it can help reduce the amount of dust and debris generated during drilling, which can improve air quality in your workspace and reduce the health risks associated with dust inhalation, which is why we offer this product. The number of workers affected by respiratory diseases involving asbestos fibers and silica is significant. These diseases are incurable, and the workers concerned unfortunately only realize this after many years. Often at the end of their careers, when they should be enjoying life.

Please note that for asbestos and silica removal work, you’ll need a HEPA vacuum cleaner suitable for the job. HEPA vacuums should, among other things, have passed a DOP test. Contact our customer service department for further details.

Special features:
This type of dust collector is normally used when working with products containing asbestos or silica. This is moderate-risk work. It prevents the dispersion of asbestos fibers and reduces the time required for decontamination.
