I could not get the set screw out of a Moen bath tub single turn handle with an allen wrench. I drilled it out with 5/32 bit follow by a 7/32 bit. The drill bit went through and out the other side. Moen handle will not come off. What is holding the handle on faucet?

Can you post a couple of pics of your faucet handle?

Try rocking the handle, you may have drilled out the set screw but metal burs could be holding it. Rock it or use a handle puller. AceŽ Faucet Handle Remover / Puller - Plumbing Tools - Ace Hardware (http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1366690&cagpspn=pla)
