Awl's Great

Needed the awl for making holes in material to fit a crochet hook through. It is extremely sharp and saved me a lot of elbow grease. Perfect for my needs. I really liked the round wooden handle that made it easier on my hand and worked great.

Useful and inexpensive! .... a tool everyone should have in their shop.

This tool is so useful I carry it in my carpenters apron all the time. I use it for scribing and punching holes in all sorts of things. It's inexpensive and quite effective. I love the fluted handle too. Yes, I recommend buying it.

wood handle, metal tip not very sharp

The sharpness was not sharp enough to punch a hole in wood cabinetry such as to replace a power drill. But it was useful to pry out stuck-in things in a narrow space, like a tube applicator clogged with silicone, or a tight-fitting spare drill bit on the side of a driil handle or in a toolbox. Also, marking a spot on wood or a line to cut wood might be useful. It saved a $5 hair-clog filter on my bathtub shower by punching the center hole to increase the size of the screw hole needed to attach it on top of the regular drain stop. In other words, its usefullness depends on specific needs for ARTISTIC purposes in woodworking, and not as a construction tool.

Perfect for punching holes

This is a very sturdy, and quite pretty product. I use it for sewing button holes for accurate 17-1800s bodices before they use grommets. It works PERFECTLY for my needs.

Sooo glad I bought these. They are inexpensive and really well made. I use them regularly and they are strong and beautiful (side benefit). Definitely recommend. I almost want to get more just in case they stop being available. So nice, quality. Shocking quality.
