So what brand of expensive Forstner bits you use on hard materials like
*laminate* flooring with a hand drill? No argument with you just wanted to
test out brands other people use.

You're pretty consistent with the using of a "had drill" for your use of a
Forstner bit. I think most would agree that Forstner bits work much better
in a power drill. Can you not get your hands on one?
