Dust & Water Collector for Drilling | Mechanic AquaDUSTER 162
Drilling into concrete, tile, and masonry indoors creates two problems at once: airborne dust and wet slurry buildup. The Mechanic AquaDUSTER 162 handles both — a compact, vacuum-powered drilling attachment that captures dry dust and wet slurry at the source, keeping your workspace clean and your sightline clear.
Watch it in action:
What Is the Mechanic AquaDUSTER 162?
The AquaDUSTER 162 is a lightweight (1.1 lbs) dust and slurry collection attachment for drilling holes up to 6-3/8" in concrete, masonry, and tile. Its suction-based mounting system holds it in place during drilling without clamps or brackets, connecting to a standard vacuum hose to remove debris instantly at the drilling zone. Unlike basic dust collectors, it handles both dry and wet drilling applications.
