You're just sayin that cause the Mfg recommends it. | |

| 12mm drillbits only.
Firstly because Petzl recommends it and secondly because a 1/2" bit is 12.70mm not 12mm. In a pinch you might get by with some worn 1/2" bits, but best to do it right the first time and use the right tools for the job. | |

| Actually saying that because I have placed a couple dozen with a 12mm bit, and a 1/2" bit will not work. Ask Greg Barnes with the ASCA about 1/2" holes with Petzl Long lifes..... | |
