This larger max size awl can be easily cupped in the hand allowing more control for precise work. It is perfect for marking precision points for drilling or starting screws. It can also be used to mark a line against a rule or pierce small holes in thinner material. Overall length is 5.5" and is 0.90" in diameter. The blade is made from hardened high carbon tool steel and ground to a very fine point. Has a hardwood handle. This awl is a pleasure to hold and use.
