The answer to that question depends on what you plan on doing with the tool. Unless you are piercing more than 25 pages of a heavy paper stock, I do not think you could use it to bind a heavy leather cover or pierce a lot of heavy leather covers. As you can see, it's geared toward fabric crafts rather than heavy duty use.
That's why I bought the wooden handle version, which is not available at the moment. In fact, it's not actually making any holes of a particular size, but rather stretching How resilient the material is will have an influence on how big you are left with, depending on what you intend to use it for. If you cover the hole with something like leather, the hole will somewhat close. Cloth which is loosely woven will retain the largest diameter more than material which is tightly woven. The awl is typically pictured next to a ruler, but if you look at reviews with pictures, you can see the awl next to both. It is apparent, if you look closely, that the biggest diameter measures about 1/4 inch, and maybe a bit smaller like perhaps Usually you can make a slightly larger hole by pulling the material to the side of the awl while twisting the awl, making it less likely to shrink back after removal of The above estimate of a quarter inch would probably be okay.

Selected User Reviews For Dritz 624 Awl with Small Handle
To pierce holes in signatures on homemade journals, I bought this tool. It is a good size - the hole is about two inches long. The size should not be too small or too large. With the cap in place, the end of the paper cutter has a nice rounded edge to protect my fingers from getting stabbed by the point. The cap also makes the bottom flat so the pen can sit nicely on a shelf without rolling around when unused. I was very satisfied with the price and the quality of the.
The grips proved to be a very useful addition at a great price. Until I tried it, I didn't realize the ease with which it could penetrate material and how handy it is It would be great if there were spikes and studs. Also, it does not cause pain or calluses when I work with heavy material, which is something I enjoy.
Let me begin with the good news. It does what it's supposed to do, and thanks to the thick handle older people can keep using it. Having the odd pink color will help you find it in a box of sewing tools, which is crucial for items that are pointed like this one! Let me now tell you something less good. These are our favorite dolls, and we have purchased six Wine-making classes are an adventure, and you need to know that the clear, protective cap will lose its seal in a snap, so have corks on hand to avoid getting hurt! I assume that the manufacturer did not intend for it to be used to provide safety when shipping, since it is clear and easy to lose.
For what I need, it works well. My friend asked me to make blankets for their babies, and I bought this item to use in the corners. My favorite feature of the rubberized handle is its comfort. I feel like I have good control when I do it. In the event of losing it, I would purchase again.
These were purchased to use to guide seams into sewing machines. The handle is larger than scissors, so they would be ideal for arthritis sufferers. Holding on to it is comfortable. It is made of rubber so it does not slide Magnetic pin holders can also be used with this product.
It is wonderful for making eyelets for medieval clothing. I make medieval clothing myself and this works perfectly for me. It seems I have about four or five because, every time I lose one, I replace it, and then the old one turns up again. helps me apply the right amount of pressure so that I do not break the threads as I spread.
As soon as I got it, I used to use it for tricky sewing with small seam allowances, and I now use it to hold down fabric edges so my overlong seams don't flop out of place. When I use an eager iron, I don't get steam on.
There is no way to remove the tip cap to secure it! It poked me while I was trying to get rid of it! What a horrible thing to happen! It is unsafe.
