I'm like you, I've never had great results with EZ outs. I have a hard time getting the drilled hole dead center.

What I have done sometimes is to centerpunch it like Pat and the others said, but then use a very tiny drill bit to do the first hole, then move up from there. I have never used the left handed bits, but our Techs have, and like them.

By the way, the gold drill bits that Harbor Freight sells are awesome. They put sets of them on sale all the time, and I find them to be very sharp and they stay that way for a long time. It is one of the better deals at HF.
