Šilo Bahco 2633/S4 teža 80 g

The Bahco 2633/S4 Awl is a compact precision hand tool designed for marking, starting holes, and scribing lines in wood, leather, plastics, and thin sheet materials. At approximately 80 g it offers light weight for fine control during detailed tasks, while the hardened steel point preserves a sharp tip for repeatable, accurate work. The simple, robust design suits both workshop and field use where a reliable awl is needed for layout, stitch starting or pilot hole initiation.

Advantages

The tool combines a hardened, ground point with a balanced, lightweight body to provide precise guidance without excessive hand fatigue. Its construction resists wear from repeated use and maintains tip alignment for consistent results. The compact size and modest weight make the awl easy to position for detailed marking and transfer tasks, and the solid shaft offers good tactile feedback for controlled pressure application.

Suitable for

• Marking and scribing lines on wood and soft metals
• Starting stitch holes in leather and textile work
• Making pilot or starter indentations for drilling
• Layout and joinery alignment in carpentry and cabinetmaking

Key specifications

• Approximate weight: 80 g
• Point material: hardened steel
• Point type: tapered, ground tip for precision marking
• Overall length: compact (hand tool size suitable for detail work)
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment on shaft

How to use

Hold the awl in a comfortable grip and position the tip at the desired mark. Apply controlled, steady pressure while rotating slightly if a pierced or pilot hole is required. For scribing or marking lines, draw the tip along the surface with consistent pressure to maintain a clear line. When starting stitch holes in leather or textile, insert the awl at the stitching points and withdraw to create a clean entry. Use a cutting mat or backing board when working on thin materials to avoid damage to the workbench.

Recommendations

Keep the point sharp and free of burrs; strop or lightly hone on a fine stone if the tip becomes blunt. Store the awl with tip protection to prevent accidental damage or injury. Select appropriate hand pressure and backing support for the material to avoid tearing or splitting thin surfaces.
