Review on 🔨 Stanley 69-122 Wood Handle Scratch Awl: A Reliable Tool for Precise Markings and Crafts by Kimberly Polcher

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Stanley Scratch Awl

One reviewer said it was exactly the same as those made years ago. Years ago had much better steel and was thicker. It also had a metal cap so it could be tapped with a hammer and when tapped with a hammer it produced an audible "ping" that sounded like quality. The old one also had a big wooden head. The new one has none of these features. It is also made in "China”. Not only Stanley sends his instruments overseas and to Mexico. But this is another story. If you need a "cheap" awl this is the place to go, if you need a quality awl look elsewhere.

Pros
  • Very Good Price
Cons
  • It worries me
