BRIDGE CITY TOOL SA - 1 Scratch Awl
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:2818316 | Brand: Bridge City Tool Works |
Each rosewood handle is flawlessly hand turned. The balance of this tool in your hand is unlike any you have ever experienced. The control of this awl, (somewhat like a conductor’s baton) allows you to lay down lines in the tightest situations; like making dovetails, mortise and tenons or tracing profiles. The 4-1/2" hardened steel blade is long and narrow, terminating in a very fine point.The SA-1 Scratch Awl is designed to complement its big brother, the SA-2. It is great for start...ing screw holes and making divots for brad point drills. The handle comes to rest in the palm of your hand, the point acting as an extension of your index finger. This immobilizes your wrist and allows you to transfer “weight” to the point. As a safety feature, the brass ferrule completely encapsulates the tang and directs all downward forces to the minor diameter of the handle.
