General ToolsGeneral Tools Scratch Awl Tool with Hardwood Handle - Scribe, Layout Work, & Piercing Wood - Alloy Steel Blade

Very durable, sharp and well made.

It scratches and it’s an awl. It’s a good quality tool.

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.

Good solid awl, fairly priced. I have broken the tips off a number of them by using them as prying tools, so they are definitely not meant for that. The steel is nice and hard which is useful for maintaining the sharp point but it also makes it brittle. Even after breaking the tips off I just buy another so overall it’s a good tool but just don’t expect to be able to pry with it. If the steel were a little less brittle I’d give it a 5 but for the price it’s still a decent buy

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.

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.

Worked Well

Good quality
