I wouldn't use a drill or any other power tool. One slip and you could

a hole in the pipe and end you with a really nice shiny NEW one courtesy

If it is Leaking? You Better Disconnect the Join clean if with Eroy Paper
and ReSolder it..
For it WILL Get Worse, not Better , just when you Don't want it too..

For ust Cleaning th eCopper Pipe? Same as your Car Battery Connectors

Plain Old Baka Soda and Some Water..
Then Start with a ToothBrush , then Scrub brush then a Wire Brush If
Needed..

If Going to Replace the Pipe? use the PVC..won't corroded anymore..


Because you did not respond in a timely manner to this 7 year old
thread, 5 years ago the leak got worse and filled the basement. The OP
did not notice, and when he went down to the basement he drowned.

A timely reply would have saved a life.
