Stupid question; what's wrong with using a drill bit?

well there is a special tool made for spot welds that goings onto a drill and allows you to cut around the outer portion of the weld. then you can take the 2 parts apart. it does not drill all the way throw the 2 parts. i will try and find the link so everyone knows where to get on. i think it was about $20.
