Review on πŸ”ͺ Mayhew Select 46502 Black Scratch Awl - 5-1/2 Inch Blade, 6-1/4 Inch OAL, 1/4 Inch by Kelsey Brown

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well built solid awl

Bought to replace my 30 year old small awl after sharpening it on the grinder too many times. Compared to small, the grip is not soft, but fits my hand well. The barrel isn't chromed either, but it's no less thick. And strong enough to mark aluminum and mild steel. I have other Mayhew tools ie punches, chisels and crowbars and I believe they are all made in Iowa but I didn't check it on the packaging before throwing it away. If Chinese, then quality Chinese. I would buy it again. I could buy two for the price of a new Klein.

Pros
  • Sewing supplies and supplies
Cons
  • Out of style
