I have exactly this tool, and it works well.  It's saved my keister more than a few times on different projects.  Just get one, and you can bask in the warmth of knowing that a situation like this won't be a problem again in the future.  :)

I'll admit it. I'm a bit afraid of this tool because I don't know how well I can control it in that tight space. I guess I could just drill really really slow.

How much room do you have to work with? That drill adapter is 4 1/8" without a bit in it.

I think maybe 8 (not home right now).

Nephasth:

8" should be plenty. You should have the speaker tomorrow or Friday.

Oh awesome! Sneaky shipping is the best kind. No pacing and staring at tracking numbers. ;)

I guess I better take these brass screws back and get some magnetic ones!
