Permanent Holiday Light Tracks
Install sleek aluminum or PVC light tracks on brick facades by drilling 1/8 in pilots in mortar and fastening with small screws/anchors. Offer seasonal programming and maintenance. Emphasize minimal mortar-only penetrations and tidy cable routing secured with 1/8 in pilot clips for a premium, low-visibility look.
Tile Accessory Mounting Pro
Provide a specialized service to mount bathroom/kitchen accessories on tile: towel hooks, soap dishes, shelves, and rails.

Creative
Brick Pixel Art Wall
Drill shallow 1/8 in holes in mortar joints of a brick or block wall to press-fit 1/8 in colored acrylic rods or dowel pins, creating a dot-matrix mural or house logo. The fast-spiral bit clears dust quickly, keeping holes clean for snug friction fits. Lay out a grid with painter’s tape, drill to consistent depth (use a collar), and insert rods for removable, non-destructive art.
Outdoor String Light Micro-Clips
Install a clean, straight run of string lights on brick or block by drilling 1/8 in pilot holes in mortar and fastening low-profile cable clips or mini screw-in hooks. The carbide tip handles abrasive masonry while the short 2 in working length gives precise control near edges, reducing chip-out. Perfect for patios, pergolas, and balcony ambiance.
Floating House Number Plate
Create a minimalist house number plaque with hidden 1/8 in standoffs. Drill 1/8 in pilots in brick or block for slim anchors, then mount a metal or hardwood plate on small spacers so it appears to float. The fast-spiral flute speeds debris removal, keeping holes true so the plaque sits level and crisp.
Tile Backsplash Utensil Rail
Mount a light-duty rail on a ceramic backsplash by drilling 1/8 in pilot holes at low speed (rotary only), using painter’s tape for grip and water for cooling. Insert appropriate small anchors and screws. The small diameter minimizes risk of tile cracking while giving a strong, neat mount point for S-hooks and kitchen tools.
Drilled Paver Luminary
Turn a thin concrete paver into a dotted lantern by drilling a pattern of 1/8 in holes that allow candle or LED light to sparkle through. Sketch a motif, drill evenly spaced holes (the short bit helps keep them perpendicular), then set over a tea light or backlight with LEDs for an industrial-chic garden accent.
