Yeah, expensive knockout tool if you can even find one small enough.
I think the Carlon boxes may be too thick for a nibble tool. For a
one-off
just drill a smaller hole and use a file to shape it was needed as
someone
suggested.
I normally use the type of F-connector that does not have flats because
those flats
can let in water if the hole is round. Another approach is to get a tap
to
match the threads on the connector and screw it in, then the connector
seals well and is quite secure.
The nut is then used as a palnut to hold the connector in position.
