Or the right size punch with a lead weight behind it when you use a hammer. Also leave bolts screws etc… in carpet and headlining when fitting carpet or headliner. Use tips of fingers to feel for screws and make a small snip on head of screw to expose and remove to install visors etc… Use chalk on carpet to mark location for where hole is to be cut, burned or whatever to make hiole.
You can use anything that is the size you want. You don’t have to use an old socket, but the extra mass of the socket walls will hold the heat a bit longer.
Nice tip except for using a lighter to light the propane torch. That’s a dangerous thing to do. One should ALWAYS use a striker to light any torch.
I love these kinds of tips. Keep them coming!
