Putting holes in tubs

[Mufasa]

After seeing a tip on here, my husband got one of these:

He used it on all our tubs, and none of them have rough edges or cracked when he was drilling the holes. It seemed to work much faster than the soldering iron that he used to use, and it doesn't smell. A bit expensive, but worth every penny if you've got lots of holes to make.

Soldering iron works for me. You can also use a wood burning iron from hobby stores. Some people have simply heated up a Phillips screw driver and punched it through...

I used a drill for a while, but sometimes it's hard to smooth out the edges, so now I use a soldering iron.
