jesus lads thats alot of fuss over a precedure that takes a minute tops, with a decent diamond blade and an angle grinder. no need for all these holes and drill bits dont get me wrong think there great but if you have 13 sockets to get round you dont want to be drilling52 holes in tiles then cutting from hole to hole you would be 1/2 day drilling, mark your sockets grind from the back job done. dont complicate a realitively simple task with all these fancy tools. a steady hand and safty goggles and jobs a good un. And if you dont fancy that a lock boy and a pair of parrot nibblers but that would take a while.

Cheers,
Vin:thumbsup::thumbsup:
