These beats are amazing! I used a drill to drill through this pendant to re-cover it. There were 40 holes in the angle iron and it was still sharp enough to drill more! The steel was hard enough to drive bolts into a hole, it required a punch, so it wasn't a soft metal. I finally threw the first one out yesterday after I drilled 6 more holes in my steel gate to attach a guy rope. I wouldn't even throw it away if I didn't have 9 left!
