Are there any mechanic tools that resemble an ice pick?

Motor Vehicle Maintenance & Repair Asked on January 28, 2021

A friend attended an an online lecture (unrelated to vehicle maintenance and repair) in which the instructor mentioned going into their mechanics toolbox to retrieve a tool that resembled an ice pick.

They made it sound like perhaps it had different heads with different diameters, and described the smallest one as "needle-like".

I can’t think of any mechanics tools that resemble this description except perhaps an awl.

Any ideas what tool(s) to which they might have been referring?

Sure. Scribes, punches, etc. Many look like ice picks.

Sounds similar to the picks I've always used. Mostly I use them for removing clips, roll pins and also just digging at miscellaneous stuff. A set from craftsman has always been my favorite but I think it was discontinued. Same as these ones tho. There are other sizes/shapes but these 4 are the most common. Many places will call them "o-ring removal picks".
