Lots of cable tidies already exist and a lot smarter looking and convenient than an ugly plastic box full of holes.
Doubtful you could give those away .

OK so no one else has asked, why the hell are you using that type of plastic box for electrical connections?
They have an absolutly zero fire rating, proper boxes have self extinguishing additives to ensure the box does not set on fire.
I hope to god that your not charging anyone for this lash up, the insurance company will have a hissy fit at the use of unsuitable equipment.
If you really have to be a cheapskate, then I'd go for the stepped drill option myself, and use nylon glands rather than leave gaping holes for little creatures to crawl into (and cause a fire when they make a nest).

It's the usual no context thread isn't it, any useful information has to be extracted rather than being forthcoming.
