Scratch Awls & Tapping Tools
Available8 products
Scratch awls and tapping tools mark surfaces and make holes in material. They have a handle for holding the tool like a screwdriver and a pointed tip that penetrates into soft materials such as light-gauge metal, plastic, wood, and leather.
Scratch Awls
The smooth, pointed tip of scratch awls scribes lines, makes a dimple to start holes, or punches holes. They are commonly used in leatherworking, woodworking, and sheet metal work to make a groove before cutting or drilling deeper with a more powerful tool.

Tapping Tools
The threaded, pointed tip of tapping tools creates, repairs, and cleans out threaded holes. Also known as screw thread starters, they screw their tip into material to form a new threaded hole, restore damaged threads, and smooth off burs.
