Use a lighter and a screw driver. Get the end of the screw driver real hot and poke it through. That's what I always did. I find it works better then a drill cause a drill can crack a lot of plastic tubs.

Butter knife heated works good cause it's a nice size width for the holes to end up being.

If your good with power tools definitely get the drill bit. If not, you can try the heat method.  I just hate the smell and the mess it makes.

Most teks and logs i've read are 2" holes.

if you cant get a drill and a bit to use, then you can get one of those small can's of tomato paste, and heat it take pliars to grab it and press thru the bin...it'll make the perfect sized holes for a monotub...




like the front right small narrow can.

xacto knife with a new blade....then you don't need to keep reheating it as often because it has a sharp enough edge.

not talkin' bout a boxcutter either....one of those xactos that looks kind of like a scalpel.  just be careful in any case.  hot metal can burn like a son of a bitch- try to wear work gloves in case your hand slips.
