Bradol handle | ||
Bradawl handles are small and fit in the palm of your hand. They are ergonomically shaped so they provide a good grip for the user. | ||
Ferrula Bradowl | ||
While the stem of a plastic saw is inserted directly into the handle of the tool, the handle of a wooden saw is attached to the stem with a tip. The tip is a small (usually metal) cylindrical clip used to hold parts together. The tip is pressed tightly against the wood of the handle, preventing it from opening and loosening the shank. | ||
Bradowle shank | ||
While there is no set size for bradavles, the bradall shaft is relatively short. A typical model is approximately 33 mm (1 ¼ inches) long. | ||
Council of Bradole | ||
The bradavle has a chisel-shaped tip that pierces through the material, creating a hole. Instruments with round and square pointed tips are also sold as bradawls. All of them have the same function. | ||
Chisel tipThe chisel-shaped tip of a bradawl resembles the tip of a flathead screwdriver. It has a round shank, and the point is formed by cutting a curved portion from opposite sides of the shank, like a double-beveled chisel. | ||
Tapered square tipA square-tipped awl (also called a birdcage awl) has a square shank and four sides that taper to a point. | ||
pointed tipAt the end of the round rod is a pointed tip. It just tapers into a point. This tool is also called a round awl. For more information on the various tips see our section: What bradawl hints are available? |
