A simple to use, lifetime guaranteed tool, the Drill Steady requires no disassembly of the tool or frame for use. Simply swing it onto the tubing, clamp the knobs down tightly and drill. It won't slip and you'll have one hand free to hold onto the boat with.

If you need a larger hole use the tool and a 1/8" drill bit; drill the hole all the way through your tubing then use a larger drill bit to enlarge your existing hole without the use of the tool.
Drill Steady Tubing Tool is a railroaded pattern
Reduce Seaming with Railroaded Fabric
Most upholstery fabric is 54 inches wide and, if it features a pattern, the pattern is run down the length of the bolt. When upholstering, it generally looks best to run a patterned fabric from the top to the bottom of the piece and from the back to the front. This requires seams every 54 inches on larger pieces like sofas and long boat cushions. Alternatively, a Railroaded fabric pattern can be used to eliminated unwanted seams. The patterns in Railroaded Sunbrellas run across their widths. This makes Railroaded Sunbrella perfect for these longer projects.
In this illustration, the fabric rolls out to cover the cushions without need for a seam.
This is a photo example of the railroaded fabric coming off the roll.
This is a photo example of fabric that is not railroaded coming off the roll.
In this illustration the fabric rolls out vertically, and for this type of single cushion, would require several seams to cover the couch.
