Ottertools - Turnstile Compatible with Bosch PBD-40 Bench Drill (Round Handle Shape)

I honestly wasn’t expecting this to be as well made as it is for the modest price. The hub is machined from solid and the stainless steel arms are extremely strong and durable.It was easy to assemble and fit and has made the drill much easier to use.While some people have the arms could have been longer, I believe they are a sensible length to ensure that 1. They should not be too long given the sized and proportions of the drill itself and 2. Users can’t apply too much force when in use and potentially damaging the drill.Really very, very good.

An excellent product, sold at a realistic price which gives this drill the 'traditional' control levers instead of the supplied 'wheel' arrangement. Some - older - reviews criticised the product packaging, stating scratching and wear to the various parts. This has clearly been addressed really well with the parts delivered in a sturdy box with a foam cutout.Note, this product comes with a tube of 'loc-tight' thread compound.I also replaced the Bosch drill chuck for a more expensive precision chuck to make operation easier and more precise. Check out YouTube videos for how to do this.

I knew that I wanted to replace the 'child's steering wheel' on my Bosch pbd 40 with a conventional three bar handle, but I was not prepared for the sheer quality of this product, even allowing for the not inexpensive purchase price. The box came with a fitted foam insert; a bottle of thread locker came with it; all the parts were beautifully finished. The whole package just oozes quality. Very pleased with it.

Just a shame that the drill press it fits had to be returned with a jammed chuck.

Good job

I read before i purchased the drill that alot of people swapped the wheel for this item and can see why, the wheel isnt the ideal way of plunging the machine. All i will say is i feel the arms could have been 2" longer, it is only approx the same curcumference as the wheel, but my goodness it is well made.

Bought this to replace the original “wheel” on my PBD40 which I didn’t like at all, this to my mind is a great improvement and makes using the bench drill so much easier. Very happy with purchase and would recommend👍
