Endure the pain, do them by hand. Drilling plastic shouldn't be that hard a task. Try drilling holes in a while metal casting to wear your hand out! I've personally never heard of anyone using a power tool to drill grab iron holes. They are way too fast and difficult to control the extremely small drill bits. I bet you'll break a lot of them too! <br /> <br />I have a pin vice I got from Micro-Mark that has a twisted shaft on it, with a knurled collar. By moving the collar up and down it turns the shaft and the drill. Easier than twisting a pin vice between your fingers. I use this for white metal holes. <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau
