You can tell by (1) running a hack saw blade or file on them, or (2) hitting it with a hammer and notice how low a ring tone it makes. If you drill or cut too much away, it will be weaker in that spot (common sense) but a worklight bracket won't make an identifiable difference - except to some imaginary future lawyer who likely will never exist. |
I would tend to agree, but the advantage of a bracket is still there. It can be removed or reused without leaving a mark.
