The Xtrahand by DrillBuddy Reviews 17

Just wanted to write and say what a terrific tool this is. I have just drilled four 10mm holes in our outer wall, through plaster and brick. Not a single speck of dust escaped. Just using a domestic vacuum. Didn't need my shop dust extractor. Mrs T is very happy, job done and no clean up. Thank you

Have a "hoover" vacuum and doesnt fit the pipe. I'd followed the advert and bought additional adapters too. Difficult to try and hold it against the wall and the vacuum tube and drill all at the same time.

Not bad. Using it with a 'James' vacuum cleaner, it probably falls off the wall (painted with matt paint) every 10 seconds or so. It leaves a faint marking as well (I was able to wipe it off). I use it for many situations, but not all. Nothing is ever perfect!

This really is a gamechanger when it comes to drilling masonery, walls, wood and plastics. It's a great design and well-made too. As a caretaker and keen DIYer it's always being used whenever I've got drill or multitool in my hands. I'm on my second one now (the first one got 'lost' on site) and I keep a spare one in my van. The hose adaptors that come with it are far superior to the cheap ones on the internet and I use them for attaching other tools to the hoses in my workshop.

I was intrigued to see how this tool adhered. Great piece of ingenuity. It really does work. I do use it with a large Karcher wired vacuum which probably helps with its performance but because of the Xtrahand the Karcher's flexibility of use has been improved !!
Would highly recommend.

Why didn't I have one of these before? This probably is the best gadget I have ever bought. It actually does what it says on the box. Brilliant, simple and works, no more struggling to hold a dustpan under the drill these is really hands free and collected all the dust without have to get the duster out.

Top product saves time cleaning up brick dust and shows the customer you care about their home! Great service as well, thanks a lot.

Just received my first Xtrahand and I’m super impressed with it. Have watched all the videos on the website which were all very informative.
I have also looked at additional products available on the website and can’t wait to see how the Xtrahand develops.

I have just used the xtra hand, tested in on the wall and ceiling and it really does work treat, DIY and woodworking.
I have a Miele Cat and Dog 6000 vacuum cleaner, worked - perfect, thank you.

Watching the videos was well worth while, especially with the ceiling and hose weight 👍

I’m a Marine/mechanical engineer contractor, it will save me a lot of cleaning up afterwards. Also works with my work hoover, Wickes - Vacmaster wet/dry 110V vacuum cleaner.

Quick fast delivery too 👍

This vacuum hose is a game-changer! I’ve been struggling with holding a vacuum hose and a drill at the same time for ages. The best part is that I haven’t had to ask my wife for help with the vacuum while I’m drilling at home. It’s totally worth the money!

Such a great product, decided to pay a bit extra instead of buying the cheap versions so glad I did.

Don’t waste money on a cheap copy buy the original.

I've been holding a vacuum cleaner next to my drill while drilling holes for years and this makes it so much easier. It's like having an extra hand! 🤦‍♂️

Having seen this item on Dragons Den. On 09/04/2023 I ordered one for myself. Arrived today 13/04/2023. Just had new kitchen / diner fitted and decorated. Window blind needed refitting ( 3 drill holes into underside of concrete lintel). XtraHand fitted to Henry with flexible hose. Henry had to stand on kitchen table to reach. XtraHand securely held in place and no dust or debris on window sill.
XtraHand is a suction head which fits onto a vacuum hose and is held in place on a flat surface by the vacuum suction, whilst sucking up the debris produced by the drilling.
Now ready for all the other holes than need drilling and no need to clean up afterwards.

Brilliant tool. It does exactly what it says on the tin.

I’m an apprentice electrician and my boss told me about The XtraHand and said it would be really helpful.
I bought it from the website and when it arrived I couldn’t stop using it, it’s absolutely brilliant.
My dads now ordered one and I’m telling everyone about it as it really does do what it says.
All of us on site use these now when drilling and cutting out plug sockets in plasterboard because it works just as well with my multi-tool.
Definitely worth the money.

I was one of the initial Kickstarter backers for this tool and I was extremely excited with the concept that all of my drilling would be dust free.
I received my order just over a month ago now and I have taken this tool to the extreme on some of my jobs, and I have to admit that it really does exactly what they said it would.

This tool sticks to almost any surface, I’ve even had it stuck on render and artex finished ceilings with no effort whatsoever, also, I can’t believe it works with literally all my drill bits too, I’ve even used it with a 32mm spade bit drilling timber, and it held it’s own like a super star.

I work in a lot of private client houses and it really is an impressive tool to use, the clients love it too, just the fact that you are using something that helps keep you working clean is a great testament to the guys that invented this thing.

You really can’t have a better tool for the price and what it is capable of.

Just one more thing, the service you get is second to none, I did email the company early on and received a reply within an hour, so well done you guys and keep up the good work.

The XtraHand is an incredible product! It is so simple to use, and it seems to catch quite literally 99% of the dust when I am drilling.

It's really well designed and very user-friendly. This is an absolute must-have product for everyone's toolbox.

I have tried a good 3 or 4 of these drill dust catcher-type products over the years, and I was never impressed with any of them. The XtraHand has completely nailed it (or should I say Drilled it) with this product.

I highly recommend the XtraHand. It does exactly what it is supposed to do.
