I use my philip screw with my brute force to "drill" a hole in the container. You might want to try.

Or you can try shouldering iron to melt your way through.

Big or small hole? Big hole you heat screwdriver puncture till next year then can get a big hole... just borrow a drill loh..

For plastic containers best to use those cordless ones, less power so won't go crazy on your plastic container.. trust me on this...

A holesaw (right) or an adjustable hole cutter (left) for larger circles will give you a neat cut........
