Seen them in various YouTube videos and wanted to know if this is worth buying,

Thanks in advance.

To be honest you could make your own from a silicone cereal bowl. Just use the drill you intend to use for your hole to drill a hole in the silicone bowl. Pull the lip of the bowl backwards to line up your drill position then let it flop forwards against the wall/ceiling and drill.
For £20 you could buy a number of bowls to suit various drill sizes.

PS If you are using it with hole cutters you only need to drill a hole the same size as your pilot drill bit then attach the cutter from the hollow side of the bowl.

I don't know if the products I've tried are Starrett but I've found the part rubbing on the drill wears/shreads/snatches and when it snatches the main bulk is spun round and rips gouges the plasterboard etc.
When they work properly, while drilling into ceilings they are brilliant but not for drilling in walls.

I have one, and it does work, reducing the dust created massively.
They are not 100% though, there is still a small amount of dust, and you do need to empty it after every hole.
Only for ceilings as already stated.

Said better than me.

I've only ever used those supplied to me so no idea where from.

That one in the link sounds like it has a nylon (Hard) part for the drill shank/chuck, I don't remember on the versions I've used but it has been a number of years.
