The aim of the company is to continue to grow its client base and spread further into global markets, and to see the DADE as a must have tool for the building industry worldwide.

PRODUCT

The DADE has been designed by an electrical contractor, for an electrical contractor.

We all know the way that down lights are installed we mark the hole check for no obstructions and then we use a hole saw to cut the hole.

We don’t want to use special tools with spinning blades that take a time to set up, wear out quickly and are far slower than our hole saws.

The DADE simply fits between the hole saw and the drill chuck.

It has two patented debris collecting channels that collect the debris, stopping it damaging the drill and the surrounding area.

Manufactured from non marking silicon.

It has a patented nylon base that allows the drill to rotate freely with no Resistance.

It will work with hole saws up to and including 120mm, catering for most down lights that are installed in today’s market.
