Traditional power tools are notorious for creating a mess when used, so the conceptual 'Vacuum Drill' looks to change this with a design that will keep areas clean and tidy to ensure cleanup is kept to a minimum.
Designed by Hoseong Yu, the drill is integrated with a vacuum system that will capture all of the sawdust, dirt and debris that is created during the construction process. This makes it suitable for use in living spaces if a workshop isn't available to let makers create without covering their home in dust.
The conceptual 'Vacuum Drill' power tool identifies potential opportunities for equipment manufacturers when it comes to dual-purpose functionality to keep consumers satisfied with the solutions they use for various projects.
