Rebar awl and med. screwdriver mod (pic heavy)

I've been thinking about doing these mods for a while. Always thought that the Rebar's awl needed to be pointier and sharper. I also never liked the tapered med screwdriver as it hampers the ability of the screwdriver to access recessed screws. Spent a little time on the bench grinder today and remedied both issues.
Before:

It was hard to get action shots of the grinding

All done, awl is super sharp and much better suited for poking things
and the screwdriver will be able to get at recessed screws.

I decided to refine the awl a bit more

The top edge is sharp as well with a slight angle to it

A bench grinder
that's cheating.
Nice work Steve.
