Project Ideas
Business
Mobile Tire and Roadside Torque Service
Offer on-site wheel swaps, seasonal tire changes, and stuck lug nut removal. Pair the 1200 ft-lbs breakaway with torque sticks and a click torque wrench for final spec, and monetize after-hours calls and fleet contracts.
Farm and Heavy Equipment Fastener Rescue
Provide a mobile service for seized, rusted, or oversized bolts on tractors, implements, and loaders. The 3/4 in drive and high IPM break stubborn hardware, reducing downtime for agricultural clients.
Warehouse Racking and Industrial Shelving Install
Assemble pallet racking, mezzanines, and steel shelving quickly and safely. The tool’s speed settings let crews start bolts gently and finish strong, boosting throughput on per-bay or per-project pricing.
Metal Building and Carport Assembly
Specialize in erecting pre-engineered sheds, carports, and container canopies using structural bolt kits. Quick socket swaps via the hog ring streamline working across sizes, improving job margins.
Deconstruction and Salvage Unbolting
Offer selective unbolting of bleachers, racking, machinery, or playgrounds for resale and recycling. High breakaway torque preserves components for higher resale value versus torch cutting.
Creative
Kinetic Scrap-Metal Sculpture
Use the high breakaway torque to dismantle junkyard parts and the variable speed to reassemble with large bolts for kinetic arms, gears, and pivots. The compact size and LED make it easy to work inside cramped frames while the hog-ring anvil speeds socket swaps for mixed hardware.
Industrial Timber-and-Steel Furniture
Build workbenches, dining tables, or bed frames using structural bolts through angle iron and reclaimed timbers. Start threads at low RPM to avoid cross-threading, then drive big lags and bolts confidently with up to 700 ft-lbs fastening torque.
Modular Raised Garden Beds
Fabricate steel-cornered planter boxes from angle/channel stock that bolt together for seasonal reconfiguration. The wrench quickly assembles and disassembles panels, and the LED helps align hardware at dusk or in shaded corners.
Backyard Smoker/Pit Frame
Create a bolted steel frame for a smoker or Santa Maria grill that can be broken down for transport. Use the wrench to attach heavy-duty hinges, casters, and grates, and to service heat-distorted fasteners after long cooks.
Overland Roof Rack and Accessories
Design a modular rack with bolt-on mounts for awnings, shovels, and recovery gear. The tool’s compact length fits under roof lines and fenders, while the breakaway torque helps with stubborn suspension and skid-plate fasteners during upgrades.
