Questions & Answers

Can I trust this product to be ?

This is not labelled as "made in the USA." It appears to be well-made. Like my "made in USA" Stanley awl from the 1970s, this one does not have an awl shaft that goes through the handle. The Stanley brand is sold and made globally.

What about the handle? Does the metal go through it?

The handle is not made of metal and does not pass through it.

The hole in this drill bit is 3/16" in diameter, or is it 1/4" in diameter?

This STANLEY 69-cc engine is a new generation of There will be a shank diameter of 3/8 on the 122. You will see a total spread as you move down the length of the shaft.

Does the metal shaft have a thickness?

The United States? That's not the case, in my opinion
3/5

I purchased this product on 9/9/16 and as of this writing the picture clearly shows USA stamped in the handle, giving any reasonable person a reason to assume that USA is the country of origin for the product. This tool was made in China, do not be fooled. These days, I do not expect a tool like this to be manufactured anywhere but China, and when I went looking for it, I fully expected it to be manufactured there. Having just purchased this cheap tool, I was happily surprised to discover that it serves the purpose for which I purchased it, as well as boasting the states of the I will pick that one, of course! Despite this, we were not meant to be together. Do not misunderstand me, it is a perfectly good awl for under $5, but it is not made in the United States. Amazon will likely replace the picture with another in the near future, but don't be misled until then.

It's likely that China is behind these "inflated" reviews of the tool itself
3/5

It was disappointing to use this tool. Stanley awls are a great tool! I have had one since about 25 years ago, and it's been a pleasure using it. An entire tang of this knife is screwed into the handle of high quality wood. A headless nail attached partway to the handle of the awl is all that is included in this new version. A glue is used to attach the ferrule My health isn't very good. My understanding is that Stanley outsourced production of this tool to China sometime in the past, but the quality of the current prototype is Those who pay Amazon for review privileges should be restricted from giving this product a five-star rating with superlatives in the review. Harbor Freight has a cheap (disposable) Chinese Awl that you can buy- This thing cannot compare with the quality of their product.

This awl is a terrible design but is not nearly strong enough to be useful for general stabbing
3/5

A dumb secondary bevel has been added to the tip on this awl (you can see the extra point on the front) that makes it impossible to bore gently tapered holes with it. I therefore dislike this awl for the same reason. An awl like that is not good. This english bulldog straight throws your project on accident if you plow it with its secondary bevel before you get 1/8" of usable tip before you do. This awl is not worthy of your attention. There are others at similar price points that work just as well.

Despite the photo, it is not what it seems
3/5

As I said, I partly did it to myself by looking at the picture rather than reading the product information. I am not aware of this product being made in the U. S. Besides the fact that the shaft isn't through the handle all the way, it looks decent enough, but after reading other reviews I see that it's likely to suffer from bending or dulling before too long, which is not surprising. Truth be told, I'm not one of those guys who wants everything to be made in *murrica - I actually prefer to make it in the USA As a matter of fact, I don't even look at most things because it's not important. In contrast, if you buy basic metal hand tools made by anywhere but America or Europe, you will still end up disappointed. This is just an awl and I bought it for six bucks, so I won't be upset when it breaks or gets dull. Also, I'm going to take a closer look at the description next time.

Buying this awl over a cheap one is your best choice, as a picture framer would tell you! Awls like this have been in my possession for years, and it's still like new even though I use it practically every day
5/5

The problem is that I have a frame shop in the basement and an art studio on the third floor. I'm constantly scrambling to find the awl since the awl is on the third floor. We decided that a second was in order. Rather than buying cheaply made ones, stay away from thin The quality of this product is excellent and you will use it for a long time.

A Made in China product, that's exactly what I sold for decades - This is an old Awl made in the USA
5/5

In most materials except for metal, I use this awl for drilling starter holes for drill bits. Sometimes, it is used as a marking agent. It will never be hammered with the same force as my old one. Identical in shape to my old awl, the handle of this instrument is also made from wood. Despite my decades-old age, I am still alive and well. The old awl will be tested at some point to determine which one can hold a point the longest the Chinese made or the.

I wouldn't call the finish color pretty, but it does the job
3/5

They used an awful color for whatever they used for a finish. This color was a kind of rose red, and it looked like the sides of the garment had been slathered in it. With the Stanley name print faded to an even lighter rose hue, the front face was the most affected. My irritation was so great that I ended up sanding the whole darn thing and sealing it with a clear finish leaving the natural wood finish untouched. As of now, it appears to be in order.

An effective, multiple-purpose method The tool is here to help! Despite the odd nature of this situation, I was prompted to send it
5/5

My research into humane ways to dispatch fish after catching them led me to discover Ikejime, a Japanese method of killing a fish. It is painless (if done correctly) and retains freshness of meat in the process. There is a problem, however, as you need something very sharp in order to do it well. It is a good thing that ice picks and awls can work so well in This Stanley Wood Handle Scratch Awl may or may not be a 5-inch sharpening tool For normal use, it should get a 5 star rating Despite this, a 5/5 is an excellent score.
