Yea drilling metal while holding it in your had is real dangerous. If the bit grabs too much you could easily hurt yourself //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Nothing wrong with drilling out ring terminals, unless you're only leaving like 1/16" of contact area ... then its bad.

my dumb stoner *** did this while standing next to my truck, using one of those cone boring bits in a big powerdrill. bit grabbed and the drill spun around and the bit gouged my truck. it wasnt very smooth.
