Just to make sure everyone understands, I posted the link for information purposes only. I am in no way connected to Home Depot whatsoever.

For holes from 1/8" up to about an inch, the only tool I will use for drilling thin metal (aluminum, soft steel, etc) is a Unibit. Similar to this:

The generic name for this is "step drill". Very clean holes in thin sheet metal.
 
Larger holes will require something else.

I’m in the process of putting together a field charging case, and want suggestions on the best way to accurately cut holes in the sides of an aluminum carrying case. Since I’m sure others have gone before me, I’d rather not do it the hard way the first time J
 
Thanks,
