{"product_id":"lineco-light-duty-awl","title":"Light Duty Awl","description":"\u003cp\u003eA sharp, controlled point makes the difference between clean binding and frustration. This light-duty awl punches precise holes through multiple paper signatures without tearing fibers or creating ragged edges that complicate sewing. The fine point produces openings sized exactly right for bookbinding thread, large enough to pass needle and thread smoothly, small enough to maintain structural integrity along the spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLineco designed this tool for consistent bookbinding work rather than heavy leather piercing or aggressive applications. The controlled tip lets you position holes accurately along folded signatures, maintaining even spacing that translates to professional-looking binding. Whether you're creating Japanese stab bindings or preparing signatures for Coptic stitch, clean starter holes prevent needle drag and reduce hand fatigue during repetitive sewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe moderate gauge balances penetration capability with control. You can pierce through folded text-weight papers decisively while maintaining the tactile feedback needed for accurate placement. Perfect for edition binding, book repair, and pamphlet construction where precision matters more than brute force.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lineco","offers":[{"title":"light duty awl","offer_id":47974008684773,"sku":"37284","price":6.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/lineco-light-duty-awl","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
