- I have one of these: http://www.aircraft-tool.com/shop/detail.aspx?PRODUCT_ID=MT002 and I have been unable to successfully drill the proper hole into a bolt head or nut using this. I keep breaking th

- I don't have one, but have you tried first grinding a small flat across the corner of the bolt head, where the hole will go? -- Randall _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@auto

- For me, carbide bits cure most drlll problems, cobalt is next best. Tap fluid or cutting fluid helps. Is it a realy hard bolt? Tony _______________________________________________ Shop-talk@autox.tea

- Not sure if there's any secret here. I've drilled a dozen 1/8" safety wire holes in Grade 8 bolts before using a single cobalt bit in a drill press, and without the tool you linked to - just some vic

- But did you start on the corner of the bolt head? That's what the linked-to tool is designed to do; and it has a guide right next to the bolt head to hold the drill on-center to the corner. Seems to

- Nope, I didn't even realize that was something people were doing - and I'm wondering why (though I'm guessing something to do with the strength of the bolt head for torquing?). Maybe a thicker drill

- Howdy, As to "why?" I'm guessing its "don't have to drill as much". Going through a corner of a bolt head seems like it'd be a heck of a lot less material to remove. As for how to actually drill it..

- A bike I bought had a few that were drilled through the edges of a bolt. I'm trying to remember why now, but at the time it seemed to make sense for that particular bolt. But like Mark said, I've nev

- I originally posted this question. While the jig presumably can be used on bolt heads, my interest was for locking nuts, not bolt heads, with safety wire. The applications for this include locking th

- Based on the single review on Amazon it seems like even if you do get it to drill a hole it may be "useless". http://www.amazon.com/Safety-Pliers-Guide-Block-Universal/dp/B005SUVTDY/ref=pd_sbs_indust
