Scratch and Punch Awl with High-Torque Handle
The exact color of the black oxide blade finish may vary.
Details
Strong, Stout Blade
- We heat-treat AISI 8650 steel, a Ni-Cr-Mo alloy, to 52–56 HRC to make the blade strong without being brittle.
- A black oxide finish is applied to prevent corrosion. Keep lightly oiled.

Durable, Nonslip Handle
![Closeup of the Awl's handle](https://media.tekton.com/images/details/punches-chisels/awls/tekton-awl-ht-handle-1x.jpg)
The overmolded grip provides a nonslip surface that is permanently bonded to the handle and won't degrade or become sticky over time.
Comfortable Grip
![Hand holding the Awl](https://media.tekton.com/images/details/punches-chisels/awls/tekton-awl-ht-grip-1x.jpg)
The handle's three-sided contoured geometry directly engages the structure of your hand for greater comfort and control.

Secure Blade Connection
The blade is insert molded into the handle, and two “wings” at the base of the blade resist pushing, pulling, and twisting.
