The rotozip is a great tool, but I usually don't use it because of all the dust it raises. I put this adapter on today to route a trough up the plaster/stucco wall to conceal speaker wires into. ABSOLUTELY NO DUST AT ALL! This really worked great for the speaker wire and my wife.
I only wish I had this over the past few years, it would have made my remodeling life so much better.
NOTE: you need an adapter from your shopvac hose to the device and your shopvac needs a hepa filter.

I run a small handyman business and the hardest thing to do is to keep the dust down while working in someone's house.
I just got this item last week and used it to cut in a door in a very crowded basement, there was almost no cleanup after I was done.
Great accessory for one of my most commonly used tools.

My husband ordered one of these and it worked so great he ordered a second one. He is a general contractor and does a lot of remodeling in a hospital and in physician offices. He tells me no more sheetrock mess in the work area or on the employee.

Be aware this will not fit your RZ2000 (50, 51 or 52).
I had tu return it and AMAZON was once again excelent on understanding the reasoning.
However they did not modify the description so my 2 star rating is to make everyone aware of the issue.

I have only used this a couple of times but when I first got it I tried using the Rotozip without it and then with it.. The difference in dust laying around afterwards is astounding!! Even with my wimpy 30 yr old Shopvac. I am thinking of getting an extra 1-1/4" hose and adapting it to fit my 2-1/2" vac for this, should be no dust at all with that monster sucking into it.
The other things I liked about it is that it replaces the foot that comes with the Rotozip and is clear plastic which provides much better visibility of the cut. The depth adjustments are also easier to make with two wing nuts on the side and calibrations molded into the body. Also, even without a vac attached it diverts most of the dirt out the vac pickup and away from your face. I only gave it 4 stars because I haven't used it enough to really wring it out. Initial impression is that it certainly has the potential for 5 stars.

This unit works pretty much as expected. I used it with a relatively powerful vacuum cleaner but some debris was still thrown clear of the adaptor. Repositioning the openings would help.

Even with the minor leakage the dust extractor keeps the work area far cleaner than it would otherwise be. This really helps keep the homeowner happy.

great roto zip attachment. purchased to use for cutting into drywall. extremly happy with it as it worked like a charm!

Great addition to the RotoZip. Minimized dust, although not everyone has a long enough vacuum hose to allow for ceiling work...

Like the others have said, it works quite well. When first starting a hole in sheetrock, some dust will scatter, but once you get the bit into the board, there is little dust.

Dust collection at the source does the job.
Dust from wall board cuts almost zero. Also works for cut outs on wood.
