I used my "big'un" electric drill to punch the holes. Its a 1/2" drive/hammer drill combo. A powerful dude! It comes with TWO handles one on the front and the regular handle in the back. There is a REASON why they have two handles!! I DID-NOT have my front handle attached. The drill bit Daze sent with the template was in the hole just drilling away. I'm left handed so I switch to my left hand. The drill bit grabs and slips in my hand. My hand accidently slips over the "lock-on" button!! Break the drill bit.. whipped around.. and darn near broke my wrist. Well I'm sitting on the concrete driveway with my legs under the car. I'm grabbing for the electrical plug trying to unplug this "wild Bastard"!! Oh...did I mention the extention cord is kinda worn so I "tie a knot in it and the drill's cord" so it won't keep coming unplugged??! If it wasn't for the drill bit breaking "The Big'un" would still be spinning and whipping around.Probably with ME on it!!! Thankfully it didn't hit the car!
I guess the morale of the story is....If you're working with the "big'un" its gonna take two hands to control it!!
