well i was out in the bush to day ( ozzie outback) and was replacing 2 emergency stop button on my rig but i need a drill to make holes for the wires to come thru then i thought ill use the awl it worked a treat ripping thru the plastic case
then i used the leathemrn to work on the wires and to put the button back together
so all in awl lol my leatherman got used heaps today
then i got called to the other rig to help out and they need their sample hose fixed but they said we dont have a hack saw i said i got the leatherman so out with the knife and it went straight thru the thick rubber
loven it
and to think i asked about 6 months ago what you need an awl for

It's called an awl because you use it awl the time.

Ahh come on, that was funny. Oh ok. $:-\$

The Leatherman awl also does superb duty when used to remove an O-ring or rubber washer without significant damage to the rubber part. Something about the shape, I suppose.

Awl's are hugely useful, I really wish some of the MT manufactures wouldn't keep leaving them off there tools

edap617 · **Reply #5 on:** February 20, 2008, 08:48:23 PM

I always supplement whatever MT I EDC with a SAK with an awl because of the absence of an awl in most new model MTs. That's one thing I like with my Supertool because it has an awl.

Poking should be done with an awl, not a knife blade. You'll find the tip of your knife stays unbroken a lot longer that way.

Gotta love the awl

A better pun for that last picture would be "look at my babies, I love them awl!"

I've thought about grinding the "for phillips" on my micra into an awl. Since I carry the charge, I have little to no use for it other than as a weak prybar. Hm..
Sure would like an awl on the charge. I use the mini screwdriver often enough that it blows my mind; either I didn't have the need before I had the tool, or realized the need after I got the tool. Still I often wonder if it wouldn't be more useful to replace it with an awl. What an awlfully boring story. Come one, come awl. Awleylooyah....Awleylooyah.

I'd like to report to you awl that I got out my Dremel and I now have an awl on my LM Blast. I think awl multi-tools should have an awl.

OK OK, I know it's not very funny, I'm awl done now.

DTH I agree awl MTs should have an awl.

I'm awl fed up with awl these awlful awl jokes. You awl should be awlshamed of yawlselves!

AWL!

On a side note I think awls are great. The pokey masters of hole making awesomeness. I try to get an awl into my edc - usually via a SAK, and alox SAK if I can. Very useful little things.

Why does this happen awl the time?

Seriously guys... awl of this is getting old... awl of it.
