Project Ideas

Business

Masonry Anchor Installations

Offer a mobile service installing TV mounts, shelves, handrails, and bike hooks into brick, block, or poured concrete. Use two-speed gearing for precise starts and fast drilling, depth rod for accurate embedment, and price per hole plus hardware.


Storefront Sign & Fixture Mounting

Install exterior signage, awning brackets, and lighting on masonry facades. The 10 A motor and 56k BPM speed through block; the keyed chuck handles larger carbide bits. Upsell stainless anchors and weatherproof sealant; charge by size/height/complexity.


Concrete Decor Microshop

Produce and sell concrete planters, wall hooks, and candle holders. Use the hammer drill to batch precise drainage and hardware holes. Leverage variable speed for clean finishes on steel inserts and wood bases; sell via markets, online, and wholesale.


Retrofit Safety Hardware

Specialize in grab bars, baby gates, and stair handrails in older masonry buildings. Start at low RPM to avoid tile chipping, then switch to hammer mode for block or brick. Offer bundled assessment + install packages for property managers.


Low-Voltage Cable Pass-Throughs

Partner with IT/security firms to drill clean pass-throughs for cameras, access points, and intercoms in masonry (≤3/4 in). Use the depth rod for clean penetrations, provide bushings and sealant, and price per run with same-day service.

Creative

Geometric Concrete Planters

Cast small planters, then use the hammer drill in masonry mode (56,000 BPM) to add clean drainage and side mounting holes. The steel depth rod ensures consistent hole depth, and the keyed 1/2 in chuck holds larger masonry bits securely for repeatable production.


Industrial Pipe Shelf

Build a wood-and-steel pipe shelf. Use low speed/high torque to drill crisp pilot holes in hardwood and switch to hammer mode to anchor the unit into brick or block. The 360° side handle provides control when driving sleeve or wedge anchors.


Brick-Mounted Herb Garden

Mount a rail of small pots to an exterior brick wall. Dial variable speed to start cleanly, then engage hammer action for quick anchor holes up to 3/4 in in masonry. Use the depth rod for uniform embedment and a neat, level installation.


Stone-and-Wood Garden Bench

Pin flagstone or pavers to a wooden base using stainless rods. Drill into stone with hammer mode at low RPM for control, then switch to wood bits for the base. The metal-gear housing and side handle help keep holes straight and aligned.
