Pocket Awl gives you a compact marking tool that folds closed, so the point is covered for storage in your pocket between layout tasks. When the Pocket Awl is fully open it locks, creating a stable handle and fixed point that support controlled marking on wood or other job materials. This folding design keeps the tool ready for quick use on site or in the shop while reducing exposed sharp metal when it is carried.
The Pocket Awl uses a folding body that closes around the point, so the tool can ride in a pocket during cabinet, trim, or shop work without the marking end exposed. When the Pocket Awl is fully open it locks, giving you a firm, consistent handle position while you mark lines or reference points. This locked-open state keeps the working angle stable from mark to mark, which helps keep layout consistent when you move across multiple parts or panels.
The Pocket Awl is described as a scribes and marking tool, placing it directly in typical woodworking layout tasks where a defined point is needed. Because the Pocket Awl is compact, it can stay with you during cabinet installation, trim fitting, or shop layout without tying up belt space. Fastcap branding identifies it as part of a woodworking-focused lineup, so the point and folding body are aimed at marking and scribing in wood-related work. The folding Pocket Awl format supports quick access on a bench, at a job cart, or during fitting runs where repeated small marks guide cuts or drilling.
The Pocket Awl, Folding description highlights that the awl folds and that it is locked and ready to use when fully open, which ties directly to control at the tip. With the handle locked open, push force travels cleanly down the tool into the work surface, supporting straight, repeatable marks. When closed, the compact Pocket Awl form protects the point and keeps the profile slim for pocket storage, so the tool is present when another layout mark is needed. This repeatable open-and-lock motion provides a predictable feel every time you switch from carrying to marking, which helps keep workflow steady across a full day of layout tasks.
