I think I bought the core one, but have yet to use it so I can not speak for how well it works.

Always use diamond core bits no matter how small the hole. I usually use a quarter inch bit. This is just the right size to squeze through the small water lines I use.

To drill I just hold the Dremel as straight as I can while slowly squeezing a sponge full of water over the bit. I get about twenty holes out of a bit before it goes bad. But at 5.99 for a set of three from HarborFreight it's no big deal.
