And when someone tries to be the wall the stands in your way, you'll have something that will open a hole in them every time: your drill.
(In a related matter, if there's a wall in your way, smash it down. If there isn't a path, carve one yourself.)
BUT keep Chesterton's Fence in mind: if you don't know why there is a wall on your way, don't go blindly smashing it down. It might be there for a reason. First make absolutely sure you know why the wall exists in the first place; only then you may proceed with the smashing.
--Kamina, in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

I like the sentiment, but you do realize that breaking walls has costs.
