Worst Bit Quote by Ken Mooney
““proper work surface. The worst bit was the drilling, and that memory remains to this day. I can handle everything else, but the sound of a bone-saw cutting your skull open is not something anyone should ever experience. It is horrible, and it oscillates at about the same pitch as a lawnmower.””
