Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This is such a simple device that its main value is durability. This one feels just as sturdy as the one that made 50 years ago. Seems to be well made and sturdy.

This awl is suitable for use by hand or with a small hammer for puncturing leather. Best one for small plastic anchors in drywall.



Cons

The tip of this awl is not as pictured. Insanely thick. The width of the tip is probably an 1/8th of an inch wide and flat.

Quality


Very nice quality feels good in the hand


I was very pleased with quality of this tool


I purchased this awl to make holes for crocheting flipflop shoes


The steel cap would withstand some light tapping with a hammer or maul without putting undue stress on the wooden handle

Price


Great price for original all purpose awl


I card wool and buying a batt pick for removing carded fiber from a big round drum with spikes on it can be expensive


I mean its a stratch awl like you cant make a bad scratch awl but good for the price

Competitiveness


I prefer this awl to the stanley brand because the shaft runs the length of the wooden handle and is capped by a steel disc


The price was better that most of the options i saw in store so i got this to just try out


I dont feel that ill need a more expensive replacement any time soon

    It works fine but the handle has some coating that makes it really greasy and sticky

    Ive tried wiping it down with different things but nothing has helped

    I prefer this awl to the stanley brand because the shaft runs the length of the wooden handle and is capped by a steel disc


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I was using an older different brand with a brittle handle once that when pushed by my palm split apart and the metal shaft cut my hand


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This would be prevented by the steel cap on the general tool version
