very cool! Though, i imagine you'd have to use that with a press that has a strong vise. I can't see using it with a hand drill ...

It is neat but since they already had to drill a pre-hole I think that it would be easier,faster and cheaper to just go ahead and broach the square hole.

That's exactly what I thought. However,if you needed a blind hole, then the broach wouldn't work.
