Sometimes you think you need to drill them out but if you take a small sharp pointed drywall screw and screw it into the restrictor hole 1 turn then yank on it it pops out without needing to drill.
Thanks. But, actually, I'm pretty satisfied with the cheap, legal shower head that the builder installed. And, I shower every week, whether I need to or not. I think that the Federal law has worked because the newer shower heads and toilets seem to be designed to function better than ever, especially when you have good water pressure.
