🔨 Premium Wood Handle Awl Set - 2PCS Alloy Steel Craft Repair Tools for DIY Crafts & Cloth Scratch Awl Projects Review

Less than I thought and that's ok but the point is during my Time canceled first use in a photo frame project. I don't know what "alloy steel" means in the context of these dies, but they aren't very durable.

They are very nicely made, good quality but not as sharp as they could be. A few minutes with a good whetstone can fix it. The steel seems to be of good quality and springy so it doesn't bend easily, it seems attached to the handle well. Despite their small size, they are easy to hold and feel good.

I don't know what I've been doing without them for so long. I use it for many things: gently sliding fabrics under the presser foot, drilling holes for hand-sewn loops, pulling up the bobbin thread. The only thing I wish was that the handle had a flat surface so it wouldn't roll around (although since it's wood you could probably sand it down and do it yourself). Very handy tool - take it!

I was looking for an inexpensive awl for a bookbinding project and these (two of them!) fit perfectly. Ultra sharp and seamless for perforating book board and multi-page stacks. I love that the awl is tapered so you can punch a variety of hole sizes, and it's sharp enough that you don't have to have absurd fun. I'm not an awl expert, but this worked great for me.

Finally I used this awl for the first time to make a sheath for a carving spoon knife. It was easy to punch through the thin composite deer/pig skin I used to make phone cases. I actually had to punch holes twice because two layers of leather try to close after the first punch. Nice that there are two awls in the package. I can leave one in my desk drawer at home and carry one in my small leather tool box that I keep in a small aluminum drawer. I like that it doesn't take up much space because…
