Eowpower 3 Pieces Wooden Handle Leather Drillable Stitching Sewing Awl Repair DIY Gadget Tool

I really don’t know what I did before I got these.

I bought the awls for removing Knots from beading cord. They work wonderfully well. Since they were so cheap, I didn't expect much. I am very pleased and would recommend to anyone. I would give them a 10 if I could.

I have a good quality scratch awl I use on a regular basis, but inevitably it is on the other side of my workshop when I need it, so I decided to try these and leave them in various places in my shop.I have been using a single scratch awl for many years - it might be a C.S. Osborne. My old workhorse has a solid feel and gives the impression it’s a quality tool, even for something so simple. My old tool also works smoothly when scribing a line on leather. These scratch awls don’t compare at all.They definitely look nicer in the photos than in person. Fit and finish is mediocre and they feel very light and cheaply made. The metal doesn’t look well machined and just doesn’t seem to be quality steel. My old tool has a solid steel needle that can be polished and sharpened. These awls appear to be made with some sort of lightweight plated metal, so I seriously doubt they can be polished. The scratching action is very rough and I can’t remedy that problem.In short, they do scratch and they should hold up for the intended purpose, but they just don’t compare to a better quality tool.

I am quite satisfied overall. Fit and finish are good. My primary purpose is as a screw hole marker and starter for working with wood and wall board. The tapered profile of the awl allows this to also be used with centering/aligning.One note, the point is not needle sharp due to the plating. I sharpened mine to best suit my purposes. Readily done with a mill file. I am happy with the result.

Great value for the price!

Quality control was not top notch. Some of the metal had rough spots on them. one was perfect, so I got what I paid for. I use that one a lot for doing splices in small hollow cordage. The others I use at the sewing machine to push pull fabric with the tip so a rough spot is no big deal.

Amazing value for the money. Very sturdy. I had no problem using it to make holes for sewing leather and for making holes in the signatures for bookbinding

I'm not going to give less than 5 stars, because, for the price, one can't go wrong. I ordered these thinking that the tip points tapered down to a needle-like tip, but they actually are conical at the tip like a lead pencil. I use these to make starter holes in wood for small screws and need precision placement. Nice though, just a bit less pointy than I expected.
