Problem:
Had a little dilemma while rebuilding a pair of floor speakers. There was no room to get a drill inside the cabinet to make pilot holes for the cross over mounting screws, and could not use a punch either, just not enough room. So I thought I would pass along this tip for those that may not have a mini drill.

Solution:

You can use a spade bit manually as its big enough to grip, and the sharp tip with just a little pressure makes it easy to get at least an 1/8th inch deep pilot which is plenty to start a screw.
