DrillSteady
DrillSteady is a compact, portable drill jig that swings open to clamp on to your tubing. All you do is drill.
DrillSteady is easy to use, so it’s great for DIY and professionals who want to build a bimini top, boat dodger, add grab rails and more. It fits in your palm (or in your pocket), so it’s always close at hand.
Drill tubing flawlessly in under 45 seconds?
That’s DrillSteady
Sound too good to be true?
With the DrillSteady drill guide:
- You can drill a bent frame corner, stanchion or other tubing in place. There is no need to disassemble or remove tubing from your boat. This will save you time and money on cutting and welding (or repairing drilling mistakes)
- A 9/64″ (3.5mm) drill bit is held in place securely (use #8 screws)
- Large, knurled thumbscrews mean an easy grip and tight fit on tubing with diameter 3/4″ – 1 1/4″ (19.05mm – 31.75mm)
- The durable cast metal drill guide body (zinc for DrillSteady, bronze for DrillSteady PRO) will not mar your shining stainless steel
- The sturdy, tool steel drill bushing will give you years of service
- Invented and made right here in Maine
Our *NEW* DrillSteady PRO has all the features of DrillSteady, but with a even tougher cast bronze body. Great for heavy use, we’re so sure DrillSteady PRO will keep up with you that we’ll replace it if it ever breaks under normal use. Just send us back the broken parts, tell us what you were drilling when it broke, and we’ll send you a new one.

Broke
Bought six. First time out, two broke immediately. Quality not as high as I’d expected.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Hello Mr C. We’re sorry our hinges didn’t meet your expectations. In your other communication you said you used them on a bimini. It sounds as if perhaps they were used in a way that overtaxed their design (did you leave your bimini up while underway?) and a stronger stainless steel hinge would have been a better option. We are always here (by email or telephone) to give advice on which of our products is the best fit for any given situation.
Excellent service and product

Ok so far
I like this product as its serves a nitch propose. However, the hinge itself is a built lose and wobbly. I’ve also purchased the plastic version for aluminum and noticed that the fit of the hinge is much tighter. I wish this hinge used the same design and the plastic one.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Yes we agree. These hinges were strong, but indeed they could feel a bit loose for some applications, so thank you for this feedback. We have redesigned our stainless steel hinges and remanufactured. We now (October 2019) have the new hinges in stock, and they are considerably tighter than the old ones.
Quick shipping and good quality
the slid mount seems really nice. I haven’t installed them yet but, they look really nice.
