1. A dust shroud for reciprocating saws comprising:
- a shroud body having an upper surface and a peripheral wall extending downwardly from the upper surface so as to define a dust collection chamber;
a plurality of bristles extending downwardly from the peripheral wall;
a vacuum port attached to the shroud body, the vacuum port having an interior which is open to the dust collection chamber to draw debris from the dust collection chamber;
an attachment collar extending upwardly from the upper surface of the shroud body;
a slot formed through the attachment collar and shroud body such that both the attachment collar and the shroud body can flex to thereby increase and decrease in size; and
an attachment strap disposed around the attachment collar, wherein the attachment strap is selectively tightened to reduce the size of the attachment collar to thereby secure the shroud to a reciprocating saw, and wherein the shroud body and dust collection chamber are reduced in size as the attachment collar is reduced in size.
