Well the list comes through once again (and fast!). Thanks to the replies of
two listers (Brian Borgstede and "Mr. Mike" Passaretti -- thanks!) it turns
out the special tools are made by Greenlee. I found the detail info at
<http://www.greenlee.textron.com/greenlee/pi-grn.html>. Although I am sure
these tools will not be cheap. But now I know they do exist.
I suppose I will just do my one hole with a drill and Dremel...
