Apex AW-95 Scratch Awl 7-7/16 in Steel Acetate Handle

Product Description

The APEX AW-95 is a scratch awl designed for marking, scribing, and piercing tasks common in trade and light fabrication work. Built with a steel shaft and an acetate handle, this tool delivers the durability needed for repeated use across jobsite conditions. The overall length of 7-7/16 inches gives the user a balanced tool profile suited for controlled hand pressure in layout and marking operations. It is a standard hand tool kept on the belt or in the toolbox by electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general tradespeople who need a reliable scriber for layout work.

The AW-95 is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial trade environments wherever accurate marking, hole starting, or material scribing is required. Its compact size makes it practical for tight spaces or finish work. Electricians use scratch awls to mark conduit layout lines and start pilot points. Plumbers and HVAC installers use them to scribe cut lines on sheet metal, plastic pipe, and insulation board. The acetate handle provides a firm grip under typical workshop and field conditions.

Installation Notes

A scratch awl is a non-powered hand tool requiring no installation. Apply controlled hand pressure only — do not strike the handle with a mallet unless the tool is specifically rated for that use. Keep the tip protected when stored to prevent injury and tip damage. No codes or permits apply to the use of this hand tool.
