Hole puncher (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awl

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">hole puncher</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for awl that I've seen before include "Law about a drilling tool" , "Pointed tool for punching holes" , "It bores" , "Pointed instrument" , "Borer, sounds like everything" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the Penny Press, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
