I need a Frank's crank for the power age!

[David Farmer]

Alas, I see tubo tuners are no longer available. 

If you ever are in the mood Frank, I sorly need a couple of winders but it's 2,000 rpm in my inpact drill or nothing!

I chopped my Turbo tune winder down years ago so it had better clearance on F Mando scrolls and now miss the depth on some tuners. 

I'm still waiting for someone to come up with a design that stays centered on bass tuners at high speed. I've thought of designing and building one at least once a week for years but it seems like it might be a lot easier to try and talk you into doing a run of them.

Just letting you know It's on my wish list and I bet I'm not alone.

Standing by.

For sure, I've considered making adapters to fit regular 1/4" hex power drivers, but once I started making these cranks, I got somewhat overloaded with "spare time" work.     The pearloid handle ones appear to be more popular that I expected - they've only been on the Web site for a few days, and they've been going pretty fast.

Most folks have never actually used a solid and smooth tuner crank so it's not surprising to hear requests for better power adapters.  For what it may be worth,l the guys in our shop have pretty much abandoned the power ones in favor of the safety and ease of a good hand tool, and I'm starting to receive similar reviews from other shops as  well.

If you do want to make ones for power drills we will take a couple.  We also use the Turbo-Tuners and love them but worry about when ours die that we can't get them anymore.

I'm struggling a bit with carpel tunnel which I joke about and call it carpel bicep....:) so hand cranking is problematic for me these days.
