Is there a way to add additional ventilation holes without a drill? My drill is broken, and I like these, but want to make sure I can ventilate it.

You might try an ice pick but be careful not to jab yourself. The plastic is thin and brittle so it might be hard to force an ice pick through. I don't know why the manufacturer wouldn't put vent holes in it. We have been catching mice on a fairly regular basis but on more than one occasion the food has disappeared. We figured one mouse came in and got it and another mouse came along and opened the door and both escaped.

The plastic is very hard and somewhat brittle. Even with a drill bit and drill you can't push too hard or the case will crack. Personally, I don't believe the little trap door fits tight enough to cut off all the air, especially if you check the trap on a regular basis.

These do have vent holes. There are 7 holes on the door. None of the mice I've caught have suffocated before they happily jump off towards my neighbor's house. =)

I am not comfortable using these without air holes, I also figure they can smell the bait better with air holes. I drilled air holes with a small drill bit on both sides: one at both ends and one in the middle. Out of four traps, with six holes each, I only made two hairline fractures. They still work fine with the hairline fractures.

I'm pretty sure you dont need extra holes. There are times that I've left them in there for a couple of days, accidently, and they are fine. But the trap is full of poop. I'm glad you're concerned about their welfare. They are so cute!

Mine has holes in it. I believe they are there to assist with the expansion. They are not noticeable at all though once assembled.

every you need to fix the no drill bar comes with the package. It is very simple to fix. I did it about six months ago and it is doing fine.

Some diving boards have no holes. You have to drill them yourself and others come drilled. You should be able to click on the item to see a diagram of the board

There's only the hole that you see. Maybe you could drill some holes into the upper sides to provide ventilation.

There isn't any need to drill a hole in the Weber using the IQ. You simply use the manifold adapter on one of the vents and cover the other two with tape.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX9Ut0hz8ZI

They give you "extra" glue , with the bar. Had one for about a year, no problems - would buy again. Best one I found that's no-drill.

You could for your own piece of mind, i didn't. Its solid as they come, I've had no air leaks at all. I mean it's certainly not going to hurt anything, but you shouldnt need to.

We ordered two and I am going to drill as well. I don't think it should be a problem. The look amazing and they are so light weight!

There are no ventilation holes in the bottom like you'd find in a Smokey Joe for example. That said, the fire pit is shallow enough were there's NO NEED for them. This works great as is.

No you don't have to drill hole, but I sold mine because they don't stay put, you can easyly fall over in them. I bought the ones you need to drill hole for, they stay in place. I hope this helps.

Yes, the rods screw together. Then simply place the last rod in your drill chuck and tighten. You need to remove the rod from the drill chuck and and another rod as you progress through the vent. Then reinsert the new rod end into your chuck and continue. Also, be sure not to reverse your drill or you may disconnect a rod joint, leaving some rods and the brush in the vent with no way to retrieve it.

Yes, I have one of the base mounts set up using vents...Works fine, just take care when installing, the first time I compressed it all the way and when released the spring got dislodged...It was a simple fix and taking a bit more care next time I have not had any issues. That base also has a small foot at the bottom that allows for changing the angle of the unit.

I would say yes, it would be much more of a pain to not use one. There aren't any pre-drilled holes.

I didn't need a drill. They send it with a mini screwdriver or something. Doesn't take too long to put together.

There are no pre drilled holes and I wouldn't do it myself. I have had mine on for some time w/o any problems at all.

I am in utter disbelief that this has not been remedied in the several years since I bought mine. Yes, one has to drill holes to complete the process. I was fortunate in having a drill press and all the bits I could ever need to perform the needed alterations. Gilmour: What were you thinking? Why have you not fixed this?
