What is the difference?
- 1Design: Awl is a handheld tool with a slender, pointed end, while auger has a helical blade for drilling holes.
- 2Function: Awl is used for piercing and marking surfaces, while auger is used for drilling holes in materials or the ground.
- 3Size: Awl is typically smaller and more portable, while auger can be larger and may require more strength to operate.
- 4Precision: Awl allows for more precise and controlled hole-making, while auger is designed for faster and more efficient drilling.
- 5Versatility: Awl can be used on various materials like leather or wood, while auger is primarily used for woodworking or ground drilling.
Remember this!
Awl and auger are both tools used for making holes, but they differ in design, function, size, precision, and versatility. An awl is a handheld tool with a slender, pointed end, used for piercing and marking surfaces with precision. On the other hand, an auger is a tool with a helical blade, used for drilling holes in materials or the ground with speed and efficiency.
