I have worried about the same thing so this time I bought a 3/16" drill bit at 12" long for the best angle and I use an allen wrench about 1/8"+ for my holder. While I'm on here I want to say that earlier I posted that lash caps would not help but after two posts to the contrary I finally get why they would help because they keep more of the lower threads in the interference range. This makes perfect sense, and I learned something.
