Tulip Beading Awl has a fine tip and a long cusioned grip making it easy to hold and use. Comes with a plastic cover. Use it for helping to unpick knots or to help open up holes in beads. Especially useful when using two hole beads that have been coated. The coating may have slightly blocked one hole, and it's always when you have already used the first hole and you are trying to use the next one.
