Business
Siding Accessory Install Service
Offer a mobile service installing doorbells, cameras, fixtures, and vents on fiber-cement siding. The quick-change, carbide-tipped pilot speeds precise hole starts for multiple hole saw sizes, reducing chip-outs and callbacks.
Masonry Low-Voltage Pass-Throughs
Specialize in drilling clean ports through brick/block for landscape lighting, security wires, and conduit stubs. The pilot’s stability on hard surfaces enables fast, accurate bores with minimal surface damage and tidy grommet fits.
Pre-Drilled Planters & Luminaries
Produce and sell fiber-cement planters and concrete-block luminaries with consistent, precision-drilled holes for drainage or light patterns. The carbide pilot improves throughput and finish quality, ideal for Etsy, craft fairs, and garden centers.
Dryer/Range Hood Vent Retrofits
Provide retrofit vent penetrations through fiber cement and block for HVAC and appliance contractors. Using the pilot with various hole saws yields accurately centered starter holes, reducing time on ladders and improving safety and finish.
Contractor Hole-Drilling Kit Rental
Rent a ready-to-go kit: compatible hole saw arbors, multiple diameters, the carbide-tipped pilot, dust shroud, and vacuum adapter. Market to handymen and HOAs for one-off masonry and fiber-cement drilling with pro results and fast tool changes.
Creative
Concrete Block Lanterns
Use a hole saw guided by the carbide-tipped pilot to bore clean, repeatable circular patterns in concrete blocks, then insert tea lights or low-voltage pucks to create glowing garden lanterns. The carbide pilot keeps the saw from walking on the rough block face and speeds repeat production.
Backlit Address Plaque (Fiber Cement)
Cut a pattern of holes into a fiber-cement panel using a hole saw and this pilot drill to form numerals or a dot-matrix outline. Mount over a weatherproof LED strip for a striking backlit house number that resists weather and warping. The pilot’s stability gives crisp hole placement for clean typography.
Fiber-Cement Planter Box
Build a minimalist planter from fiber-cement board offcuts and add precise drainage and irrigation inlet holes with a hole saw guided by the carbide pilot. The pilot prevents skate on dense material so holes align perfectly even near edges.
Patio String-Light Pass-Throughs
Drill neat, grommet-ready holes through masonry pillars or block walls to route string-light cables. The carbide pilot centers the hole saw on slick or uneven surfaces, yielding professional-looking cable ports with matching caps or ferrules.
Durable Birdhouse From Siding Offcuts
Assemble a weatherproof birdhouse using fiber-cement siding scraps and cut entrance and ventilation holes with a hole saw. The carbide pilot ensures accurate placement without chipping, even on thin siding panels.
