QDOBA Parent Company Diversifies with Robust Craftsman Drill Press – A New Tool for Makers & Professionals

SAN DIEGO, CA – November 8, 2023 – QDOBA FRANCHISOR LLC, best known as the parent company behind the popular fast-casual Mexican chain QDOBA, today announced a surprising yet strategic expansion into the tool market with the launch of their new Craftsman Drill Press. While seemingly a departure from burritos and bowls, the company explains this move is rooted in a commitment to providing quality, accessible solutions – just in a different form. “Look, we’re a company that understands logistics, supply chains, and reaching a wide customer base,” explained a spokesperson for QDOBA FRANCHISOR LLC. “We figured, why not apply those skills to something completely different? We’ve been quietly developing this drill press for over a year, and we’re confident it delivers on the same promise as QDOBA: solid, reliable performance.” More Than Just a Franchise Holder: A Focus on Quality & Value Many people only associate QDOBA FRANCHISOR LLC with the QDOBA restaurant chain. However, the company operates as a broader entity with expertise in franchise support, supply chain management, and business development. This diversification into tools isn't as random as it appears. The company identified a gap in the market for a robust, reliable drill press that wouldn't break the bank. “We noticed a lot of people – from hobbyists doing DIY projects to professionals needing a dependable tool – were facing the same problem: either they were stuck with flimsy, underpowered drill presses, or they had to shell out a ton of money for a quality one,” the spokesperson continued. “We thought, ‘We can do better.’” Introducing the QDOBA Craftsman Drill Press: Power, Precision, and Peace of Mind The QDOBA Craftsman Drill Press isn't meant to be a fancy, feature-packed machine. It’s built to work. The focus is on delivering consistent, accurate drilling for a wide range of projects. Here's a closer look at what sets it apart: Powerful Motor: The drill press boasts a robust 1/2 horsepower motor, delivering ample power for drilling through wood, metal, plastics, and even ceramic tile. No more struggling with tough materials! Variable Speed Control: From delicate precision work to aggressive drilling, the variable speed control allows users to adjust the RPM to perfectly match the material and task at hand. The range spans from 500 to 3000 RPM. Heavy-Duty Construction: Forget wobbly, lightweight machines. This drill press features a cast-iron base and column, providing exceptional stability and reducing vibration for cleaner, more accurate drilling. The solid construction also means it can handle the wear and tear of regular use. Precise Depth Adjustment: Achieving consistent hole depths is crucial for many projects. The QDOBA Drill Press makes it easy with a clearly marked and easily adjustable depth stop. Laser Guide: For pinpoint accuracy, the drill press is equipped with a built-in laser guide that projects a beam onto the work surface, indicating the exact drilling location. This helps prevent errors and ensures clean, consistent results. Quick-Release Chuck: Changing drill bits is a breeze thanks to the quick-release chuck. No more fumbling with tiny keys or struggling to tighten the chuck. Work Light: The integrated LED work light illuminates the work area, providing clear visibility even in dimly lit spaces. Table Tilt: The table can be tilted up to 45 degrees, allowing for angled drilling. Who is This Drill Press For? The QDOBA Craftsman Drill Press is designed to appeal to a broad range of users: DIY Enthusiasts: Homeowners tackling weekend projects, building furniture, or making repairs will find this drill press a valuable addition to their workshop. Woodworkers: From basic woodworking to more complex projects, this drill press provides the power and precision needed to create beautiful and functional pieces. Metalworkers: Drilling holes in metal can be challenging. This drill press, with its powerful motor and variable speed control, makes the job much easier. Hobbyists & Crafters: Whether you’re making jewelry, building models, or creating other crafts, this drill press will help you achieve precise and consistent results. Small Shops & Professionals: For light-duty professional use, this drill press offers a great balance of performance, durability, and value.
