I see. Thanks! Time to get the drill battery recharged. It's my first time to replace the tips and both pins are stuck. I'm curious is it common to have stuck metal pins and need drilling...

I was trying to replace the old worn heel tips on a pair of boots. They are plastic tips. The plastic part was easily removed using a pair of pliers. But the metal pins left me stranded. They were stuck in the heels and I couldn't get a good grip on them because the part outside the heel is hollow and not robust. After a few unsuccessful attempts of pulling, there is not much metal left outside the heel, which is even harder to get grip on. Any ideas? Thanks!
