Gouldian Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 I use my philip screw with my brute force to "drill" a hole in the container. You might want to try.

SRC Member ervine Posted May 11, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted May 11, 2004 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
