But they probably still stock awls.

I found a church key in an old bucket of bolts in the shop the other day. I was very glad to find it because i lost my other one somehow.

Ace Hardware on NW Expressway has them, they come with a wooden handle and wooden sheath. I bought 2 about a month ago, cause I broke the one I had that was 40 years old or so. Shouldn’t have been using it to line up bolt holes on the trailer.

Is it that they are not allowed to sell them, or that no one buys ice picks anymore so they don't stock them?

Nobody sells ice picks because Nobody uses them anymore. When was the last time the ice man brought a block of ice for your icebox?

I don't think it's that they're not allowed to sell them, I suspect that with everyone having ice makers it's likely not something they sell a lot of.

Of course, with an ice maker that leaks a little. You need one to break up the cubes.

I looked at Walmart, Crest, and Ace Hardware in MWC and nobody carries them.

Just grind a point on a worn out phillips screwdriver.

Not as lethal looking.......the mob used ice picks in the movies to make small holes. LOL!
I actually have a couple in my tool box. They were great for working out O rings and things like that.
Had real O Ring removal tools as well, but the ice pick was to get them out and not worry about damage. Better, harder steel than common O ring picks.

Like the ice maker in our RV that needs replaced. We just use a steel serving spoon to break it up though.

Why don’t you sharpen a screwdriver? Or buy a straight pick from the tool section?

What did you need an ice pick for? Asking for a non federal agent friend


But seriously, it’s beyond retarded why stores do this. By a brand new sharp mower blade and you’ve got machete. It’s stupid

Could be secret agent man friend
