Actually .... the best thing for drilling a sill that's been there for awhile is probably an extra length drill bit for diameters up to 3/4". Use a hole saw for 1" or larger.
The reason being ... nail embedded wood. I've lost some beautiful auger bits over the years when they struck a piece of metal partway through the job.
I started out in the building trades about 40 years ago. There were a lot of changes as the decades passed. I remember finding an old Henry Diston signature hand saw at a yard sale and having the local saw sharpening shop custom cut it to a 13 point fine. It was a point of pride and that's the saw i did all of my finish carpentry with. I've still got that saw but i haven't used in awhile.
Sadly .... it's a much busier pace of life now. Just about any tool that will help you get the job done faster & better is worth it's weight in gold.
I bought a cordless 20 volt Dewalt sawzall a couple of weeks ago. It's a miracle tool when it comes to scrapping out copper & brass when i hit the mixed metals pile. Can tear through it like nobody's business.
It kinda has to be that way .... ya know ?
If you can't keep up ... you're bound to fall by the wayside.
Not quite ready for retirement just yet. It's not my time. A few more good years and then i'll go sit under a tree and watch the world go by for awhile. Maybe as a disembodied spirit if death takes me before then. Ever seen the world through the eyes of a tree -or- a granite outcropping at the top of a mountain ? It's quite amazing really. Their sense of time is completely different than ours.
