Product Description

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.

Okay, so this is a pretty basic tool but this is the best iteration I have ever had. It really is easy to underestimate the usefulness of an awl, but when you need it you will be glad to have this one. The tip is very sharp and I can imagine that this will last a very long time. Such a basic tool, but a necessity for any respectable toolbag.

Some people don't know this, but klein tools with these such handles have something to identify it on top. The nut drivers have the size on them and also an M if they are magnetic. This has the model number of 650 on it so you could easily distinguish this from other klein tools in your bag, box, or pouch.

Great quality scratch awl. Works great for scribing sheet metal or puncturing holes in copper tubing. Has many uses, if you are in the market for a scratch awl, you won't be disappointed.

There's really not much to say about this product being that it is a simple tool.. However, it's by far the nicest iteration of an awl that I have ever used.. It's got a good solid weight to it and it's very symmetrical in it's tapper. The grip is good and it has lasted me for a few months now no problem. Definitely worth the little extra that it costs over inferior quality products. I'll be looking more into Klein tools for future purchases because I like what I've seen thus far.
