no thats no good. they will make your panel flimsy and weak.

 

you need the proper press type tool, its basically a bolt and a die that cut a hole and form the strengtehing around it

Try your local City Electrical Factors, they sell both types.

hux has got one and is using it to great effect, it rolls the edges in and looks really neat while adding strength as Rick says
