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.

Yessss, definitely. Run, don't walk. Get two!

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.

Good awl, but don’t use it for prying

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

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.

A Tool For Many Uses

I use awls most for making a hole to install anchors and screws in drywall and to make starter holes for all wood screws. I have had a similar awl for twenty years. It finally broke - the rod came through the handle. It is still usable, but I decided it was time for a new one. I got one that looked very sturdy and was all metal, but to my surprise the tip broke after a few uses. The steel was not strong. This one is very similar to the one that I mentioned earlier, and it is working very well so far. In my opinion, this is such a simple device that its main value is durability. Whether it will last for decades, I don't know. If it breaks soon, I will amend my review and go to fewer stars, but until then I give it 5 stars.
