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.

Great Quality
I have not used at this time for the original intended purpose. I will keep the clamps for future use.

Thank you! Do let us know when you use them – we love pictures. All the best.
Stainless steel hinge
These were not round.
Had to take them to machine shop and have them turned to fit. The shank on them is not .065. Closer to .875. Being they were larger and out of round. They had to be turned.
Luckily I work for a large airline and was able to take them to work.
Response from Gemini Marine Products
Thank you for this feedback. To help clarify: The description for this item clearly states, “Size: 1″ stainless steel hinge for use with .065″ wall thickness stainless steel tubing” – the insert portion of the hinge is not .065″. That is the wall thickness of the stainless tubing for which is it designed to be used. While it is possible it was out of round, the hinge is purposely designed to be slightly small for 1″ x .065 tubing, and the 0-ring is intended to compensate for any distortions in either the hinge casting or the tubing. We’re sorry this confusion caused you extra work, but we’re very happy you like them.
