Default Re: Drilling on carpet for safety belts

I do what the guy in the video does except I don't have any cheap sockets! Instead I use a short piece of copper tubing according to the bolt size. Also doesn't mess up my soldering iron.

That's what disposable $1.99 Harbor Freight soldering irons are for- no way I'd use one of my good irons.
