Plural of bradawl: multiple small, sharp-pointed tools used by carpenters to pre-drill holes in wood.
From 'brad' + 'awl' + plural 's'. Each bradawl in a toolkit might have slightly different point sizes for different nail gauges.
Woodworkers often collect multiple bradawls because worn points get dull—a sharp point is crucial to avoid tearing wood fibers, so having a few backups is essential!
