Recess tool for flush-mount trim

Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to a recess tool configured to cut a circular recess in drywall, thus enabling the flush mounting of a recessed light trim. The present disclosure generally describes a recess tool having a circular plate with cutting teeth and a guide. The recess tool is configured to be removably secured to a drill such that when operated, the cutting teeth of the circular plate rotate and cut a recess into drywall and stop once the recess reaches a predetermined depth. The guide is configured to be inserted into a can light opening, thereby creating the recess at the location of the recessed light. Once the recess tool cuts a recess into the drywall, a mud ring may be placed into the recess such that the trim is flush with the uncut drywall, thereby creating a flat surface to mud.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
