Starrett Scratch Awl with Rubber Handle

The Starrett scratch awl with rubber handle is a layout and marking tool. It is also called a scribe or marking awl. It is made for scribing precise reference lines and marking starting points on metal, wood, plastic and other workshop materials. Starrett has made precision measuring and layout tools in the USA for generations, and the line follows that tradition.

Key Features:

• Hardened steel point that makes fine, clear scribe lines for accurate layout work
• Rubber handle that gives a comfortable, non-slip grip for control while scribing or punching
• Simple, durable one-piece working design for machinists, metalworkers, woodworkers, fabricators and general shop use
• Useful for marking hole centers, starting drill points, tracing templates and scribing along straightedges or squares

A good scratch awl is a basic part of a layout tool kit. Starrett builds this line to the quality standards expected of its other tools, so it holds up to daily use in the shop, garage or job site.
