Business
Modular Pegboard Product Line
Batch-produce and sell plywood pegboard panels with 1/2 in holes and matching hardwood pegs. Use jigs to drill fast, consistent grids; the bit’s high-speed efficiency lowers production time per panel. Offer custom sizes for garages, kitchens, and retail displays.
On-Site Cable Pass-Throughs
Offer a handyman service to add clean 1/2 in pass-through holes for home offices and media centers—behind desks, inside cabinets, and between studs. The auger’s compact length makes tight-space drilling easy, and high-speed mode lets you complete multi-room jobs on a single charge.
Van/RV Upfitting Holes & Routing
Specialize in drilling wiring and hose pass-throughs in cabinetry and thin studs for van and RV builds. The reinforced tip reduces tear-out in plywood and softwoods, and the short bit length is ideal for confined interiors. Upsell grommets and cable management.
Cedar Planter Installations
Build and install custom garden boxes with proper drainage and drip-line pass-throughs. The auger bit speeds drilling of many holes with minimal battery swaps, helping you deliver same-day installs for landscapers, HOAs, and restaurants.
Make-&-Take Workshops + Kits
Host classes where customers build a dowel coat rack or perforated luminary. Pre-cut stock, then demonstrate safe, high-speed auger drilling for clean holes. Sell take-home kits with pre-marked blanks, dowels, and a drilling jig; promote private events and team-building sessions.
Creative
Modular Pegboard Wall
Create custom pegboard panels from plywood using a 1/2 in grid of holes. The auger’s high-speed design lets you drill hundreds of clean holes per charge, and the short overall length helps when working on mounted panels or between studs. Add 1/2 in hardwood dowels for pegs to hang tools, plants, or decor.
Rustic Dowel Coat Rack
Drill 1/2 in holes into a reclaimed board to glue in 1/2 in dowels as hooks for coats, hats, and bags. The reinforced tip reduces wandering for straight, evenly spaced holes, and the fortified spine clears chips quickly in knotty woods.
Perforated Log Luminary
Use the bit to drill an artistic pattern of 1/2 in holes through small logs or 4x4 offcuts to make candle or string-light lanterns. The auger’s fast chip ejection prevents scorching and clogging in thicker stock, producing crisp perforations.
Cedar Planter Drainage & Aeration
Build cedar planter boxes and drill multiple 1/2 in drainage and side-vent holes. High-speed drilling saves battery life when making many holes, and the compact length fits inside assembled planters to add overflow holes after installation.
Blanket Ladder With Dowel Rungs
Lay out side rails and drill 1/2 in sockets for dowel rungs. The 4 in working length is plenty for through-holes in 2x lumber, and the hex shank keeps the bit secure when drilling at angles for a snug, glueable fit.
