Corded variable-speed drill with a 1/2 in (13 mm) single-sleeve keyless chuck and spindle lock. The tool uses helical-cut, heat-treated steel gears in a metal gear housing and includes a 360° side handle. It is intended for routine drilling in wood and steel and provides a low-speed, higher-torque operating range.
Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Door Hardware and Deadbolt Install
Offer on-site installation of locksets and deadbolts for homeowners and property managers. Use a door lock jig with hole saws and spade bits; the drill’s torque and 360° handle provide control through thick doors. Charge per door with add-ons (smart locks, strike reinforcements, peepholes).
On-Site Steel Drilling and Retrofit
Serve contractors and farmers needing holes in gates, trailers, angle iron, and brackets. With step bits and cutting fluid, the drill’s 1/2 in steel capacity and metal gear housing handle repetitive work. Price by hole size/material, offer rush service, and bundle with bolt-up assembly.
Cabinet Hardware Drilling Service
Install knobs and pulls in kitchens and closets using layout jigs for speed and consistency. The keyless chuck speeds through bit changes (pilot, countersink), and the low-rpm control reduces blowout on veneers. Charge per piece; upsell soft-close hinge retrofits and touch-up services.
Deck and Pergola Anchor Retrofits
Specialize in adding or upgrading structural fasteners and post anchors. Drill accurate pilot holes for lag bolts, bore clearance holes for carriage bolts, and mix epoxy anchoring adhesive with a paddle. Package pricing per post or linear foot, with inspection and tightening included.
Hands-On Drilling Workshops
Run weekend classes teaching safe, accurate drilling in wood and metal: bit selection, jigs, hole saws, and step bits. The drill’s variable speed and side handle make demos approachable for beginners. Revenue from tickets, tool-and-bit starter kits, and brand partnerships.

Live-Edge Floating Shelf with Hidden Steel Pins
Create a floating shelf that appears to levitate by drilling deep, accurate holes into studs and the shelf underside to accept 1/2 in steel rod pins. The drill’s high-torque 0–600 rpm range and 360° side handle give you control when boring large, straight holes in hardwood with spade or Forstner bits, and the keyless chuck makes bit changes fast while fitting jigs for alignment.
Metal-and-Wood Entryway Rack
Build a modern coat and key rack using a reclaimed wood backer and a strip of mild steel flat bar. Drill pilot and through-holes in the steel for hooks and mounting using cutting oil and the drill’s 1/2 in steel capacity. The metal gear housing and spindle lock keep bit swaps (twist, step, and countersink bits) quick and secure for a clean, mixed-material piece.
Garden Arbor/Trellis with Dowel Joinery
Construct a robust trellis from thick hardwood or cedar. Use the drill to bore clean, perpendicular holes for 1 in dowels and lag bolts. The triple gear reduction delivers steady torque for larger bits without burning, and the side handle helps keep long bores straight for strong, repeatable joinery.
Planter Box with Hidden Drainage Manifold
Build a cedar planter with an internal drain-and-overflow system. Use hole saws and spade bits to create drain ports and grommet openings; add a bulkhead fitting and hose to route water away. The low-speed torque helps drive larger hole saws smoothly in thick boards, minimizing tear-out.
Workbench Top with 3/4 in Dog Holes
Upgrade a workbench by drilling a precise grid of 3/4 in dog holes for clamps and holdfasts. Pair the drill with a drill guide or jig for perpendicular holes. The keyless, ratcheting chuck grips spade or brad-point bits securely and the comfortable trigger allows controlled feed to prevent tear-out.
