Birdcage Awl

The birdcage awl is a handy tool for marking and starting a hole for a nail or screw. The the four sided point makes quick work of marking and reaming small holes. W-1 tool steel. Model 1 is our original birdcage awl which we have made for a few years. Model 2 has a shorter awl shank and broader, flatter end of the handle which can be more comfortable for pushing.
