Questions about this tool
What changes compared with the seven-inch tool?
The overall body is shorter. If you use a tall fixture, check point clearance and grip position separately.
Does this include a hole-spacing jig?
The awl and its protective cap are the documented items. Use a separate guide or mark the stations yourself.
When might a larger grip be easier?
Compare a teardrop or ball handle if your hand needs a larger surface for downward pressure.
