Posted By Bryn Maidment Anyone come across these little gizmos? They are a circular cup device that you drill holes through - the dust gets collected inside instead of all over the surrounding area. When I mention them to contractors they look at me as though I've lived on a diet of Mercury for a few years. I've actually got one sat in my garage but didn't keep the wrapping and the shop's gone bust. Anyone know of a supplier? The one I've got is called a Drill Boy but i've even tried a web search to no avail. Regardz

Posted By Charles New You can get them (or something similar)via Screwfix, a mail order company. I'm not sure of their web address.

Posted By Jim Walker Bryn, I remember seeing these in that Innovations catalogue that comes with the Sundays. Often wondered who bought the stuff therein; I know now! I've got a similar thingy for my router (connect to Aquavac). Part of the router package however.

Posted By Bryn Maidment Thanks both, all sorted via screwfix! Jim, was my comment about buying from a shop so transparent? Yes, I look through Innovations and have the nasal/ear shaver, heated booties, brass dibber set, Scrabble thesaurus (electronic of course) and a kitchen composter. Currently saving up pop bottles to get the hardest jigsaw in the world and a mohair jumper de-fluffer. Move with the times me!

Posted By Bill Elliott Dave - I've seen that one too - apparently it is reversible making it doubly difficult to complete and if that wasn't bad enough there is no picture to go by!

Posted By Allan St.John Holt Ah, then that will be the one that David Beckham is said to have taken along to Sir Alex for advice about. After looking at it for 5 seconds, Sir Alec is said to have replied: "Put the cornflakes back in the biox, David". Don't believe a word of it myself. Allan

Posted By Dave Wilson That will be the one then Alan! Couldn't fit all the bits back in the box though so tried the new snowflake jigsaw! Apparently you have to depict a 'Frostie' scene whatever that is!!!

Posted By Ken Taylor A corn flakes packet will collect more of the dust - but make sure you eat the jig-saw first.
