Project Ideas

Business

Brick/Concrete Mounting Service

Offer a flat-rate, dust-controlled mounting service for TVs, shelves, mirrors, and whiteboards on brick, block, or concrete walls. The hammer drill’s compact form and 1/2 in keyless chuck speed up bit swaps for pilot holes and Tapcon screws, enabling quick appointments and same-day installs.


Safety & Accessibility Installs

Specialize in installing grab bars, handrails, and baby gates into tile-over-masonry bathrooms and stairwells. Use drill mode with glass/tile bits to pass tile cleanly, then hammer mode for the backing masonry. Offer ADA-compliant placement, sealed anchors, and warranty-backed work.


Exterior Fixings: Numbers, Mailboxes, Cameras

Provide a curb-appeal and security package: mount house numbers, mailboxes, smart doorbells, and camera brackets on brick or stucco. Quick scheduling, neat hole layout with on-tool LED, stainless hardware, sealant for weatherproofing, and a photo verification report for clients/HOAs.


Pop-Up Gallery & Retail Hanging

Serve galleries, cafes, and pop-up shops with rapid hanging of art, signage, and shelving on masonry walls. Bundle services: layout, drilling, anchors, and patch/paint upon removal. The 12V brushless drill’s variable speeds and clutch protect delicate fixtures while working fast.


HOA/Common-Area Hardware Upkeep

Contract with HOAs and property managers to maintain and install bike racks, parking signs, hose reels, and storage hooks on block walls. Offer quarterly inspections, anchor replacement, and quick-response service. Efficient bit changes and fast charging keep turnaround times short.

Creative

Backlit House Numbers on Brick

Create a modern, backlit address plaque by mounting standoff posts into a brick or block wall. Use hammer mode with a carbide masonry bit for small-diameter anchors (Tapcon or sleeve anchors), then switch to screwdriver mode to fasten stand-offs and LED backer. The integrated LED helps align holes at dusk; the compact size makes ladder work easier.


Concrete-Top Side Table

Cast a small concrete slab for a side table, then use the hammer drill to make anchor holes in the cured slab to attach a steel base or hairpin legs with concrete screws. Use drill mode and clutch for assembling the wooden or metal base cleanly without stripping fasteners.


River Stone Wind Chime

Drill small holes through flat river stones to string a layered wind chime. Use quality masonry bits, low speed, intermittent drilling with water for cooling, and light hammer mode only if needed on denser stones. Finish by threading with copper wire or paracord and a wooden hanger.


Balcony Herb Wall on Brick

Build a vertical herb garden using a cedar slat frame and metal planter hooks anchored into brick. Hammer mode handles pilot holes for 3/16–1/4 in masonry screws; use the clutch to drive hooks and brackets without over-torquing. The LED pre-light helps mark holes in shaded corners.


Garage Utility Track System

Install a modular track (French cleat or metal rail) on a concrete or block wall to hang tools, hoses, and bins. Drill evenly spaced anchor holes in hammer mode, then switch to driver mode for secure, clean fastening. Add labels and adjustable hooks for a tidy, high-capacity storage wall.
