Product Information
Full details
The Felo Punch Awl (4mm x 60mm) is a heavy-duty marking and punching tool engineered for professional woodworkers, machinists, and fabricators who require absolute precision. Its standout benefit is the high-strength, non-slip handle that remains secure in greasy conditions, though users should note that the hardened steel tip is intended specifically for marking and punching rather than heavy prying or chiseling tasks.

FAQs
Is this tool suitable for leatherworking?
Yes, the 4mm diameter makes it an excellent choice for marking stitch lines or creating starter holes in thick leather.
Can I use this as a screwdriver?
No, this tool is specifically designed for punching and marking and lacks the geometry to engage with screw heads.
What is the steel composition?
The blade is forged from high-quality chrome-molybdenum-vanadium steel.
Is the handle chemical resistant?
The cellulose-acetate handle is highly resistant to most common shop chemicals and oils.
Where is this product made?
This Felo Punch Awl is manufactured in Germany.
Can I hit the end of the handle with a hammer?
While the tool is durable, it is best to use a soft-faced mallet to prevent potential damage to the handle material over time.
Troubleshooting
The tip has become dull after heavy use
The tip can be lightly honed using a fine diamond stone or file to restore the sharp point geometry.
Handle surface feels slick
Clean the quartz-finish handle with a mild degreaser or dish soap to remove accumulated shop grime and restore the grip texture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no formal assembly and is ready for immediate use. To maintain the integrity of the 4mm tip, store the tool in a dedicated rack or organizer rather than loose in a drawer to prevent dulling of the point. While the blade is highly resistant to corrosion, it is recommended to wipe the shaft with a light machine oil after exposure to moisture. Avoid using the awl as a scribe on hardened steel surfaces, as this can dull the point prematurely. Periodically inspect the handle for any cracks if the tool has been subjected to extreme impact, though the material is formulated to be highly impact-resistant.
