Century Drill And Tool 72181 Scratch Awl

This scratch awl is a hand tool designed for scribing precise layout lines on metal, wood or plastic before drilling or cutting. It serves tradespeople, mechanics and DIY users who need a reliable point for accurate marking tasks.

Chrome vanadium steel construction with comfort grip

The blade is forged from chrome vanadium steel to resist bending and hold a sharp point through repeated use. A moulded comfort grip handle reduces hand fatigue and improves control when applying maximum downward force.

Manual striking tool with no replaceable tip

The awl relies entirely on hand pressure, so it cannot match the speed or depth of powered scribers or carbide-tipped markers on hardened materials. Users who need interchangeable points or powered operation will require a different marking system.
