Contents and packaging: The kit contains six straight awls housed in a clear plastic storage box that keeps each tool accessible and protected between uses.
Handle design and feel: Each awl features a long, straight wooden handle shaped for a secure grip. The handle length accommodates a range of hand sizes and offers leverage for pushing or twisting motions during punching and stitching operations.
Needle material and finish: The points are crafted from stainless steel and honed to a fine tip. The polished needle surface reduces friction when passing through leather or fabric, helping prevent unnecessary scuffing and making hole formation smoother.
Applications and materials: These awls are intended for leatherwork, bookbinding, fabric and paper crafts. They can mark, start holes, remove backing from tape, and assist with precision glue placement or inserting small fasteners and lights.
Portability and care: The compact plastic case makes the set easy to carry and store so you can take it to classes, craft nights or job sites. Keep the protective caps on the tips when not in use and avoid contact with corrosive substances to preserve the stainless finish.
