Business
Mobile Wire-Pass Drilling Service
Offer on-site pre-drilling of studs and plates for electricians, low-voltage installers, and plumbers. Use 3/4" and 1" bits to create clean runs in tight bays where full-length augers won’t fit; price per hole or per linear run.
Custom Peg-Rail Installations
Design, build, and install Shaker-style peg rails for entryways, mudrooms, and retail displays. The 5/8"–3/4" bit sizes match common dowel pegs, and the compact augers streamline secure mounting between studs.
Etsy Batch Products
Produce high-margin small goods—propagation stations (3/4"), tool racks (1"), and lacing boards (5/8"). The reinforced tips and high-speed geometry reduce cycle times and wear, helping you scale without premium machinery.
Van/RV Upfit Drilling
Specialize in drilling tidy holes through wood furring and cabinet ribs for wiring, plumbing, and ventilation in van and RV builds. The effective 6.5" length excels in confined cavities; package with sound-deadening and conduit routing.
DIY Weekend Kit Rental

Shaker Peg Rail
Drill evenly spaced 5/8" or 3/4" holes into a hardwood backer to accept dowel pegs for coats, hats, and bags. The short 7.5" OAL lets you work between studs to anchor securely, while the reinforced tips speed through dense woods like maple.
Plant Propagation Station
Create a modern display by drilling 3/4" holes in a plank to seat glass test tubes for cuttings. Angle a few holes slightly for visual interest; the hex-shank augers run clean and fast in high-speed mode for batch production.
Rustic Camp Stool
Use the 1" bit to drill mortises into a live-edge slab seat and glue in 1" dowel legs. The fortified spine clears chips quickly for deeper, straighter holes, giving sturdy joints with minimal tear-out.
Garage Tool Rack
Drill a row of 1" through-holes along a 2x board to cradle broom and rake handles, or drill 5/8"-3/4" holes for dowel pegs that support handled tools. The compact length is ideal for mounting racks in tight corners.
Swedish Torch Lantern Log
Turn a small log into a lantern by drilling intersecting 1" holes to create air channels and light portals. The decreased-pitch lead screw controls feed rate for safer, smoother drilling in end grain.
