It might be impossible to fit a square peg into a round hole, but with the Quadsaw drill attachment, it doesn't matter. The handy device lets carpenters cut square or rectangular holes with their [standard drills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cordless-power-tools), saving time on all kinds projects -- whether peg-related or not.

In appearance alone, it's clear that Quadsaw is far different from the average [drill bit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fixboy). Slightly larger than a smartphone in its dimensions, the Quadsaw attachment requires a handle that acts as a guide for steady cuts. Once all these add-ons are attached to one's drill, however, Quadsaw significantly speeds up the process of sawing square or rectangular holes.

Research shows that, with a [traditional saw](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/split-box-cutter), it takes about five minutes to cut a square hole. With Quadsaw, it takes fewer than 30 seconds.
