Review: Awesome Awl to have - Great Tool to use And is well made ! I use it all the time Review: Well made and very handy tool. - This is a well made tool and serves its purpose well. Just a note that the tapered point is a little more blunt than the one shown in the photo and the square taper is much more gradual. Don't know that this is better or worse. I do like the idea of adding flats on the handle to keep it from rolling, I will take my chances, for now. I've since purchased two more to give to my dad and uncle. ## Features - This is a square blade birdcage scratch awl made by a small Czech firm. - It has a beautifully turned stained beech handle with steel ferrule and a high carbon tool steel blade. - Blade length is 3 1/2", handle length is 2 1/2" with a 1 1/2" diameter. - Scratch Awls are ideal for quickly pre-drilling for screws or even for general mark-out work. - Works well in hardwoods.

It comes with the tip rounded, which is wrong on a bird cage awl the square corners are what is supposed to do the cutting when boring a hole. all four flat sides should meet at the tip ## Frequently Bought Together - Narex Square Blade Birdcage Woodworking Scratch Awl 874710 - Narex Round Blade Woodworking Scratch Awl conical 6 x 164 mm - Narex Marking Knife --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/6398364-narex-square-blade-birdcage-woodworking-scratch-awl-874710](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/6398364-narex-square-blade-birdcage-woodworking-scratch-awl-874710) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
