Forstners in a hand-held drill are just fine, so long as you don't go too big
In Response To: Have you ever used one with hand held drill outside a shop. ()
In fiberglass a forstner is a superior bit, and my preferred choice for smooth holes. A hand-held drill is no issue up to about 1.25", or 1.5" if you have a stronger drill, sharp bit and a good position.
