Struggling with a loose end cap that keeps sliding out of the awl handle?

By gently bending the wings of the end cap outwards, you can achieve a more snug fit of the end cap in the awl. Adjust as needed. The wings are easy to bend by hand.

Can’t get the needle to fit into the opening on the threaded post?

Using a flat head screwdriver, gently pry it open slightly to allow the needle to slide in. Then screw the chuck lock back into place and start your project.

Which needle works best for fine thread?

The #4 needle is our smallest and is best suited for using with finer thread. This also makes it ideal for smaller projects or a more delicate material such as tent rain fly cover, seams and more.

Which needle is best suited for coarse thread?

Both our straight and curved #8 needles are ideal for coarse thread. The straight needle works in most applications and the curved needle is great for projects in tighter spaces.
