Use a masonry bit, they're really easy. The worst thing would be if you hit
steel in the slab. Actually, not having steel in the slab would probably be bad
too.

I love the sound track - it makes the installation seem so carefree and easy.
The steps that are critical are not shown - starting the initial drill hole and
pounding in the bolt from start to finish in a VERTICAL orientation.. I would
probably be bouncing the bit all over the place as it refused to dig into the
floor.
Other than that, I want one badly.

If anyone attempts to install this lift as a DIY project please share with
videos and blow by blow account of how you did it. I am hung up on the
bolt to the floor part.
