"Hi! I'm Vincent Laporta on behalf of Expert Village. I'd like to discuss the tools that we're using today. This particular tool is used for various things. The tip is pointed and that could go along your pattern for the holes that you need. As well, it also acts as a bordering tool.

They are a little flimsy because they are like coping saw blades."
