Anyone (Bay Area) have a Hole Punch tool for PDC parking sensor install I can borrow?

Trying not to drill the bumper and instead use the VAG BEA000001 tool instead to minimize risk of damaging the paint.

If anyone has the tool, would greatly appreciate it if I can borrow it for 10 minutes. Otherwise I'll buy it and wait a week for it to arrive.

Also open to hearing about other suggestions to get clean parking sensor holes created.

Please let me know how it comes out. Looking to add front sensors to both my car and my wife's car. Where did you order the tool from?

Bought the tool from eBay and it's shipping from Europe. I called around to local VW/Audi dealers as well as BMW dealers and they don't sell the tool at all.
I also called several body shops and they use a step drill bit and paint the bumper afterwards.

Thank you for the info, I did the search and found it on eBay. Please let me know how it turns out after you do it. I'm going to wait for your feedback before I buy the tool for myself
