Re: Tip from ACC carpets
I've used a hollow punch for making holes in carpet. First poke a hole through with an awl, then smack the punch a few times with a hammer, using a 2x4 as backing (to save the floor and the punch).
You'll want to use a punch larger that the 5/16" bolts so they will start easily and not try to grab the carpet strands. Sorry for the image size, but I can't see how to make it any smaller.
