IBEW member Jennifer Smith leads this weeks job tip by showing us how to drill into a junction box or panel without breaking your drill bit.

First, you will need a cordless drill, a half inch hole saw with a quarter inch pilot bit, a quarter inch fender washer, a center punch, a hammer, and, of course, all your necessary PPE.

Step 1: Lay out your marks.
Step 2: Center punch your marks.
Step 3: Drill the hole utilizing the washer and pre-made marks.

Thanks for demonstrating this job tip, Jennifer! We hope this is useful to all of our members next time you encounter this situation on the job.
