From the Manufacturer

Since 1857, the company operated by Mathias Klein and his descendants to the fifth generation, has grown and developed along with the telecommunications and electrical industries where Klein pliers first found major usages. Today, Klein Tools, Inc. represents much more than Klein pliers. The company's product line has broadened to include virtually every major type of hand tool used in construction, electronics, mining, and general industry in addition to the electrical and telecommunications fields. Klein offers a lifetime warranty on material defects and workmanship for the normal life of the product. The Klein 650 Cushion-Grip Scratch Awl comes in handy when a pencil or marker does not show up very well on any material you need to mark. It scribes metal, starts screw holes, performs a variety of piercing and punching jobs. This professional, heavy-duty, hard-pointed awl is easy to use, and it lasts longer than a pencil or pen. The 3-1/2-inch rigid, chrome-plated, heat-treated, tempered-steel shank has full reinforcing bolster at handle for extra strength and for handle impact reinforcement. With an overall length of 7-7/8 inches (200 mm), this awl has internal flanges that provide a solid shank anchor, and the cushion-Grip handle allows for greater comfort. The Klein 650 Cushion-Grip Scratch Awl is sold one item per package.

You can see this little beauty second from the left in the pic I posted. I use this to poke starter holes whenever I’m going the be driving in screws. It’s durable, perfectly sized for my needs and performs its function flawlessly. Sure, I could have purchased something cheaper, but why settle for cheap quality when you can add “heirloom quality” tools to your collection that will go to your son and his son for generations to come? I don’t have a son. I have all daughters, but that’s ok, because the three of them can fight over this tool when I’m gone…it’s THAT GOOD.

    I'm impressed with the quality, strength, and design of this awl. It doesn't fit in the hand like a traditional awl, which have short boulbous handles, but will probably outlast the alternative wood type of awl.

    I don't use this as a tool, I keep it on the front seat of my car for personal protection. I have severe arthritis and refuse to just sit at home, so this comes with me. the weight and balance of the tool is good, and the diameter of the rubber handle allows me to grip it securely. bought a couple more, won't be without one. highly recommended.

    This is a tool that anyone will need in their bag. I can’t believe how often I need and use it in everyday tasks, as a handyman or homeowner or professional categories. This is just the right balance of size, comfort and sturdiness. It is worth twice the price for me! If you are looking for an all-purpose awl, look no further. This goes everywhere with me. Had to buy another recently since my other identical one got misplaced. Had it for @30 years. I’m sure had I not lost it, it would have outlasted me. Glad to see it is still manufactured by Klein.
