The 3/16 inch Pyro Poke non-sparking brass fireworks awl is used to make a hole in a firework lift charge. The 3/16" size is the best option for small bore cakes, the lift cup of a shell, quick-match, and produces a hole for an un-shrouded ematch head or safety fuse insertion.
If you want to leave the protective shroud in place over the ematch head, I suggest purchasing the 1/4" pyro poke.
The poke has a 3.5 inch non-sparking brass shaft with a sharp tip. The orange 3.5 inch wide t-handle fits in the palm of your hand better than a ball style poke.
