Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Lockset and Deadbolt Installation
Offer on-site door hardware installs for homeowners and property managers. This drill can run the standard 2-1/8 in hole saw for locksets and 1 in spade/auger for latches with excellent control. Package services with a door jig, premium hole saws, and dust collection for fast, clean installations.
Rough-In Boring for Trades
Subcontract to electricians and plumbers to bore stud/joist holes for conduit, water lines, or drains. The triple gear reduction drives 1-1/2 in augers and 2-1/8 in self-feed bits through framing safely. Charge per hole or per linear foot; add upsells for fire-block sealing and grommet installs.
Epoxy and Compound Mixing Service
Provide mixing support for flooring installers, countertop fabricators, and contractors. The 1/2 in keyed chuck accepts heavy-duty paddles; the 600 rpm speed is ideal for viscous materials (epoxies, thinset, grout, mortar). Offer mobile batching, on-site timing, and quality control to reduce waste and labor.
Fence and Deck Fastening Prep
Specialize in pre-drilling and hardware installs for decks, pergolas, and fences. Use the drill to bore bolt passes, counterbores, and post cap holes in dense lumber. Promote fewer split boards, faster assembly, and longer hardware life for builders who prefer to outsource prep steps.
DIY Door Upgrade Kits Rental
Rent out a turnkey kit: this drill, door lock jig, sharp hole saw set, latch mortise template, and safety gear. Target landlords and DIYers upgrading locks. Include quick-start guides and upsell same-day delivery/pickup. Low acquisition cost and high utilization make this a strong rental niche.
Creative
Reclaimed Beam Table Lamp
Turn a chunk of reclaimed timber into a statement lamp. Use the drill’s torque and D-handle to run a long 3/8–1/2 in auger bit through the center for wire routing, and a 2-1/8 in hole saw to recess the socket cup. The keyed 1/2 in chuck grips larger-shank bits securely, and the side handle gives control in dense hardwood.
Log Tealight or Planter Blocks
Cut short sections of small logs and bore 1-1/2 in to 2-1/8 in pockets with a spade or self-feed bit for tealights, succulents, or herb planters. The triple gear reduction keeps the hole saws and self-feed bits from bogging down, and the end handle lets you apply steady pressure for clean, flat-bottomed holes.
Custom Speaker Enclosures
Build bookshelf speakers or sub boxes out of plywood/MDF and cut precise driver openings with up to a 4 in hole saw for ports and tweeters (larger drivers can be started with a hole saw and finished with a jigsaw). Pre-drill mounting holes in steel grills with twist bits; the low 600 rpm helps prevent overheating.
Garden Bulb and Bed Planter
Attach a garden/bulb auger to the 1/2 in chuck to drill uniform planting holes for bulbs and small transplants. The high-torque, low-rpm motor powers through compacted soil, while the side handle stabilizes the tool to keep holes straight and consistent.
Round Coasters and Trivets Set
Use a 4 in hole saw on hardwood offcuts to cut coaster blanks and 6–8 in hole saws with a compatible arbor (if available) for trivets. Finish by sanding with a drill-mounted drum sander. The metal gear housing and ball-bearing construction handle sustained cutting and sanding loads.
