bradawl
Screw hole maker
A bradawl is a small hand tool with a sharp point used to make holes in wood before inserting screws or nails.
The point is pushed and twisted into the wood rather than drilled.
Unlike an awl, which has a round shaft, a bradawl typically has a chisel-shaped tip that cuts across the wood grain to prevent splitting.
