Taytools114970 2-1/2 Inch Dust Collection Cyclone Separator Lid for 5 Gallon Pails Buckets Trash Cans

I’ve used it for a week now in the wood shop. Simply stated it does what it’s supposed to. Virtually all of the dust stays in the bucket. I will be finding a static location for it and utilizing a longer hose to move around the shop. I like that it’s much lower profile as well.

This product is sturdy and works well, especially for the price. But I suppose it depends entirely on the vacuum you use it with. I use it with my Rigid shop vac as a spot carpet cleaner/extractor to clean up spills and pet "mistakes". I can isolate the wet pickups from the vacuum and not have to take out the bag & filter or clean the whole vac each time I use it for liquid. One star off for having vertical ports straight up. Would like to have 2 more elbows for the top so the vac hoses don't pull it over so easily.

This will not collect the finest dust like the high end cones will, but it does a great job of increasing the capacity of a shop vac.I pick this over the cones because I don't have the space to juggle the large top.This fits a Home Depot bucket perfectly. It seals well and yet is easy to open and close.As with all these vacuum devices, getting the right fit for the hoses is a real hassle. The industry is not standardized. My method is to cut several slots in the round attachment port, and slip a hose clamp over it. It then easily tightens on both incoming and outgoing hoses. I'm able to cut off the port at the right diameter to fit my fittings.I would buy again - great product!

I don't really have any negative things to say about this product. For what it costs, it far exceeds my expectations! If fact, as you can see by the picture, maybe it has such a good seal that it collapsed my HD bucket! LoL I'll be looking for a stronger bucket, but as far as a low budget option for dust control for those of us just starting out, BUY THIS! You won't be disappointed. One day i plan on having a nice shop with a bigger setup for multiple devices, but until that day, I'll swap out tools as i use them. Have fun building stuff!

This is a simple cyclone lid for the bucket, but there are few things to consider when selecting it. The price is right compared to other dust collectors. But it does not fit on top of Lowe's 5 gal bucket, and probably will barely fit on Home Depot's one. It does not have any sealing 0-ring to seal the lid, and more importantly, there are no latches or any other means to secure it on top of the bucket. It also does not have central (vertical) pipe, and also does not have any means to secure vacuum hose.So overall it may be used as parts when on is building DIY dust collector, but too many parts/effort is needed to complete the project, so I returned this one and bought more expensive one from Home Depot.

Great quality, sturdy, using it with a 5 gal. bucket, and my vacuum, as sawdust collector.

My saw has a pretty fine toothed blade and so makes very fine sawdust. It mostly goes onward into the shop vac. I will be trying to run another one in series and see if that helps even if it doesn't the price was good

Well made. Great price. Fit perfectly on my 5 gallon bucket. Picks up even the very fine dust. 👍👍👍
