Project Ideas

Business

Floating Shelf & Wall-Mount Install Service

Offer a niche installation service for floating shelves, TV mounts, and heavy art. Leverage the compact drill for tight studs and precise pilot holes; use custom modes to prevent overdriving into drywall anchors. The app’s last-seen and geofencing disable features reduce tool-loss risk across multiple daily client visits.


Mobile Furniture Assembly Concierge

Assemble flat-pack furniture and custom kits on-site for busy clients and Airbnb hosts. Preprogram modes for delicate fasteners (low RPM, low clutch) and standard cabinet screws (mid RPM). Use Inventory Manager to assign tools to a helper and log runtime/trigger counts as proof-of-work on invoices.


Neighborhood Tool Library with App Checkout

Start a micro tool-lending library for an HOA or coworking makerspace. Pair every drill in Inventory Manager, assign to members, and enforce returns by enabling out-of-range disable. The last-seen address helps recover misplaced tools, reducing loss and insurance costs while generating subscription revenue.


Contractor Asset Tracking Setup Service

Consult for small trades (painters, remodelers) to deploy Tool Connect across their crews. Tag tools, create jobsite/user assignments, and train foremen to read diagnostics (temperature, runtime) to schedule maintenance and reduce downtime. Charge a setup fee plus a monthly report on usage and loss prevention.


Data-Driven Punch-List Crew

Build a rapid-response punch-list team for builders and property managers. The drill’s compact size and LED make quick ceiling, cabinet, and hardware fixes fast; diagnostics and trigger counts let you estimate labor per task type and optimize pricing. Geofence disable deters theft when working across multiple open units.

Creative

Shadow-Gap Floating Shelves

Build sleek, hidden-bracket shelves that appear to float with a shadow reveal. Use the 1/2 in keyless chuck to run spade/auger bits for deep stud anchors, then switch to a low-speed, high-clutch custom mode to drive mounting screws without stripping threads. The compact 6.9 in length and bright LED make leveling and drilling in tight alcoves easier; programmable LED delay gives you hands-free light while you set the bracket.


Mid-Century Plant Stand (Dowel Joinery)

Create a walnut or oak plant stand with cross-braced dowel legs. Precisely drill dowel holes using brad-point bits and a depth stop; set a custom slow RPM mode for clean, tear-out-free holes in hardwood. Use the clutch at a low setting to assemble with brass screws without snapping them, and the ergonomic grip for steady control during repetitive drilling.


LED Slat-Wall Headboard

Make a modern slatted headboard with hidden LED strips. Drill pocket holes and wire pass-throughs, then countersink mounting screws using a mid-speed custom mode for uniform results. The built-in LED light and compact form help when working behind the bed frame. Use the 15 clutch settings to avoid overdriving screws into softwood slats.


Acoustic Diffuser Art Panel

Build a QRD-style diffuser that doubles as wall art. Drill pilot holes and drive hundreds of screws to assemble the block pattern. Rotate between high-torque low-speed for drilling and higher-speed for driving using programmable modes to keep your rhythm. Track trigger counts as a fun metric to gauge your progress on a large, repetitive build.


Garden Bench with Integrated Planters

Construct a cedar bench with corner planter boxes and drainage holes. Use low-speed torque to bore clean drainage holes, then switch to a clutch-limited mode to assemble without crushing soft cedar. The brushless motor and 20V runtime are great for outdoor work, and the app’s last-seen feature helps you find the drill if you set it down in the yard.
