I believe the answer is:

awl

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

(Other definitions for awl that I've seen before include "It bores" , "a boring person needs" , "A boring thing" , "Pointed instrument" , "Tool for hole making" .)

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