Joseph Marples 1.5" Bradawl

Joseph Marples 1.5" BradawlJoseph Marples have been making woodworking tools in Sheffield since 1840. A Bradawl is used for marking screw or nail holes in wood. The tip looks similar to a flathead screwdriver but is designed to open up the grain in a piece of wood to help start a screw and reduce the risk of the wood splitting. They are a great tool for any tool box. Just don't try to use one as a screwdriver. Beech handle with aa 1. 5" metal tip.

If you are new to carbon steel you need to be aware that its negative is that it will tarnish easily with acidic sap (you'll get black marks on the blade

The handles are 13” long with a slightly overside shoulder

They are a great tool for any tool box
