Pointed tool (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awl

'pointed tool' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for awl that I've seen before include "Hole-making tool" , "Pointed hand-tool" , "Tool for punching small holes" , "Boring tool sounds comprehensive" , "leather-workers use it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Telegraph.
