Default Any electricians around here?

Just curious if we have any electricians around here that might have access to a knock out punch tool set? I would love to tap out a larger hole in the front cap of all my Zebco spinning reels to enable the line to feed out more easily?

I put mine in a lathe and cut the opening on one. I didn't see a vast improvement in how the line fed out though. Maybe I didn't make the opening big enough???

Yea, Goes out easy but comes back slow and messy

K, how large did you make your opening? My Thumperized reel works quite well and was just trying to duplicate the process more or less.
