A pointed awl is used to make it easier to insert screws into wood or mark along the grain very much like a metal worker would use a scriber.
Once the position for the screw has been decided and marked, the bradawl is used to produce a small hole in exactly the right place, just deep and wide enough to help the screw thread to start.
Red hardened linic plastic handle.
