How to use: For scribing metal, firmly hold the awl by the Cushion - Grip handle and apply pressure while moving it along the metal surface. When starting screw holes, place the tip at the desired spot and gently tap the strike cap with a hammer. For prying and chiseling, position the tip where needed and use appropriate force. Notes: Always wear safety goggles when using this awl to protect your eyes from flying debris. Do not use excessive force that could damage the awl or cause injury. Maintenance: After use, wipe the awl clean with a dry cloth. If it gets dirty, you can use a mild cleaner. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting.
