For safety reasons, you might want to use one of the impact drills available that make drilling through metal almost like going through butter. I've seen a Ridgid cordless do this and of course there are pneumatic ones. The impact drill might be safer in the hands of one person than applying a lot of force to the problem with two persons.
Use an impact drill with steel? I've never heard of that, nor would I try it. It works great for concrete and masonry where the bit is drilling and breaking the material at the same time, but trying to that with steel may result in broken bits and other issues.
