Business
Custom Perforated Decor Shop
Sell perforated metal lanterns, lamp shades, and wall art with repeatable hole patterns. Batch drilling with the TiN-coated bits keeps edges clean and speeds production. Offer personalization with initials or logos formed by dot-hole patterns.
Mobile Bracket Fabrication and Install
On-site drilling and installation of steel brackets for garage storage, TV mounts, handrail shoe plates, and workshop fixtures. The no-skate tips reduce the need for center punching on ladders or in tight spaces, and the 1/2 in capacity covers most anchor sizes.
Trailer and Truck Upfitting Service
Add tie-down points, spare tire mounts, ladder rack reinforcements, and accessory plates by drilling and bolting to frames and beds. Market to contractors and landscapers; offer corrosion-protected hardware and quick turnaround.
Small-Batch Metal Signage and Dot Art
Create illuminated or painted signs from aluminum or thin steel using drill-dot patterns for numbers, logos, and wayfinding. Upsell LED backlighting and powder coating. Pilot with smaller bits and open select holes to 3/8–1/2 in for lighting effects.
Hands-On Metal Drilling Workshops
Teach weekend classes on drilling techniques, fasteners, and safety. Students make a small project (lantern or bracket) and learn speed, lubrication, and step drilling using the set. Revenue from tickets, kits, and tool add-ons.
Creative
Perforated Metal Lanterns
Drill patterned hole arrays into thin steel or aluminum sheet to create candle or LED lanterns that cast intricate light. Use the no-skate tip to start clean holes without a punch, vary bit sizes (1/16–3/8 in) for visual interest, deburr, then roll and rivet or bolt into cylinders.
Industrial Floating Shelf Brackets
Make sturdy brackets from flat bar or angle iron. Drill mounting holes for studs (3/16–1/4 in pilots, up to 3/8 in) and shelf support holes. The three-flat shank helps prevent slipping while drilling thicker stock. Finish with black paint or clear coat for an industrial look.
Custom Bike and Scooter Accessory Mounts
Fabricate aluminum flat-bar adapters for lights, action cameras, or bottle cages. Drill precise holes to fit clamps and bolts, then round corners. The titanium nitride coating extends bit life when working on tougher alloys found on bikes.
Upcycled Wind Chimes from Scrap Tools
Turn old wrenches, keys, or cutoffs into chimes by drilling small holes (1/8–3/16 in) for hanging wire. Mix metals for different tones. The no-walk tips help start holes on curved or hardened surfaces when center-punching is tricky.
Riveted Sheet-Metal Planter Boxes
Cut and fold galvanized or aluminum sheet into box shapes, drill corner and drainage holes, then assemble with rivets or bolts. Step through bit sizes for clean holes and use the 1/2 in bit for generous drainage.
