Boring tools are a type of tool used in metalworking and woodworking to create cylindrical holes. Augers (6 letters), awls (4 letters), reamers (7 letters) and trepans (7 letters) are all examples of boring tools. Augers are used to drill holes in wood, while awls are used to make small holes in leather and other materials. Reamers are used to enlarge existing holes, and trepans are used to cut out large sections of material.
