Wall-Mounted Drill Holder

Wall-Mounted Drill Holder Not long ago, I released a model of a wall-mounted magnetic holder for an electric screwdriver. It turned out to be so convenient in everyday use that I immediately decided to adapt it for another tool that had been sitting idle — a miniature drill. Why idle? Simple: the tool wasn’t within reach. It lived in a box. And when something’s hidden away in a box — by the time you find it and open it, you’ve already forgotten what you needed it for. I’ve mentioned this before, by the way. Design Features The holder model for the mini drill is structurally almost identical to the one I made for the screwdriver. The main difference is the shape of the top support: it’s not round but shaped to fit the mini drill’s body, which is closer to a rounded square and slightly smaller in diameter than the screwdriver. The assembly process is exactly the same as I showed in the previous video. So there’s no point in filming a new video — it’s all the same steps.   Additional Elements Included with the drill holder is an adapted version of the well-known FlipFlop dock — this time designed for storing drill bits specifically for the same mini drill. Like the main holder, it attaches to a metal wall using magnets and can snap into a vertical position when not in use.   Mini Drill Modification The mini drill itself needed a small upgrade. I added a switch that completely disconnects the battery from the controller. This was necessary because the components operating in standby mode were drawing milliamps instead of microamps, as stated in the specs — which meant the battery would drain completely overnight.     Most likely, I just got a unit like that. Maybe it’s not a widespread issue, but I can’t say for sure — this isn’t statistical data, it’s just my personal case. I’ve seen components before that were supposed to consume almost nothing according to the datasheet but ended up pulling 40 mA in practice. It happens. A different production batch might not have th
