Project Ideas

Business

Masonry Mounting Service (No-Stud Installs)

Offer a flat-rate service for mounting TVs, shelves, mirrors, and curtain rods on brick, concrete, and block. The 3/16" SDS+ bit matches common 1/4" concrete screws, improving speed and consistency with the wear indicator to ensure reliable anchor strength.


Retail/Restaurant Signage & Fixture Installs

Provide installation of interior/exterior signs, menu boards, dispensers, and wall fixtures on masonry facades. The four-flute bit minimizes blowout and keeps holes on-size for cleaner installs and better pull-out values—ideal for recurring maintenance contracts.


Garage & Warehouse Storage Upfits

Specialize in mounting track systems, bike racks, tool holders, and conduit clips onto CMU or poured concrete. The short working length speeds drilling in repetitive layouts and maintains consistent diameter for hundreds of anchors per job.


Patio Lighting and Shade Hardware Installs

Package service to install string lights, small shade sails, and cable guides into masonry. Market clean, small-diameter penetrations and sealed anchors; the high-impact carbide head yields fast, precise holes even in hard concrete.


Property Manager Compliance Mounting

Handle mounting of fire extinguisher brackets, safety signage, soap/sanitizer stations, and mailbox banks onto block walls across multi-unit properties. The wear mark ensures uniform hole sizing across sites, reducing callbacks for loose anchors.

Creative

Brick Wall Floating Shelf Gallery

Install a series of narrow floating shelves on brick or block using 1/4" concrete screws in 3/16" holes for a clean gallery wall. The SDS+ bit’s four-flute design clears dust for accurate depth and the wear mark helps keep holes tight so brackets don’t wobble.


Outdoor String Light Anchor Points

Create a tidy catenary system for patio or balcony string lights by drilling 3/16" holes for small masonry anchors or concrete screws with eyelets. The short, 2" usable length is ideal for shallow embedment while maintaining strength in concrete or CMU.


Vertical Herb Garden with French Cleats

Mount a French cleat rail to a masonry wall using 1/4" Tapcon-style screws drilled with the 3/16" bit. Hang lightweight planter boxes for herbs; the consistent hole sizing from the wear indicator keeps fasteners snug under seasonal load changes.


Standoff-Mounted House Numbers/Art Panel

Drill precise 3/16" holes for small standoffs on brick to float a metal or wood plate with house numbers or a mini art panel. The solid-carbide head resists chipping in hard aggregate, giving clean, repeatable holes for aligned mounts.


Hanging Concrete Planter Wall Hooks

Anchor compact hooks into a balcony or garden wall to hang concrete or ceramic planters. The bit’s debris-evacuating flutes help maintain proper embedment so hooks stay secure without oversizing the hole.
