the tools you use to drill those holes in the rubbermaid bins??Ive been using a plain old nail and screw driver but the holes always come up funky looking and to small..any help would be thankful.Alex

You can use a cheap soldering iron from Radio Shack or wherever. Simply poke the holes. You will need to do this with lots of ventilation, because the fumes from the melted polypropylene are harmful if inhaled for a long time. Don't think you need a pic of a soldering iron, but get the conical tip. There is 1/8" dia for baby boxes and 3/16" or 1/4" dia for adults.

Another tool is the "unibit" or other multi-sized drill tool. It works better than a standard twist drill.

I got a soldering iron from them for 2.99 which I've used for many projects and it's still holding up.

I used a cordless drill to put about 200 holes in tubs for my rack. Works great!
