Barnaby:
Does anyone use one of these light pull drives for making light pulls?

bodrighywood:
Not seen these before. If you intend to make a lot of pulls I suppose it could be handy but for the few I have made I just use an ordinary drill and a wooden jamb chuck make out of scrap. To get the larger section for the knot I use a smaller spindle gouge.

Paul Hannaby:
I have one which I think is a far better design for light pulls - it was made by Multistar (part of their Marlin range) but I don't think they are around any more.

Twisted Trees:
I use one, I used to make a lot of quick and simple light pulls for mass sale so found it very handy.

Also find it makes a great friction drive for 10mm tenon type parts e.g. for pocket watch stands ear ring holders and the like. Generally a quick and easy drive for small parts as long as assembly will hide the 4mm hole used in the end.

Sandy:
Hi Barnaby

I was given an Axminster one as a present, as Twisted Trees says, they're useful as a drive if you do a lot of small items.

Price comparison
Planet Rotur (includes stepped drill) £22.79
Axminster £12.88
Yandles (includes stepped drill) £15.99
