The Japanese company Tulip apparently has what they describe as beading awls. They look like regular awls for enlarging holes to me. Carmen posted a photo of hers on Facebook.

If you have need of such a tool, they are not very expensive. They also might make nice laying tools. The handles come in various colors: pink, mint green, navy, and gray. They appear to be a bit over five inches long and Carmen says the handles are soft with a depressed area to make them easier to hold.

I've misplaced mine, but can attest that they do make a darn good laying tool.
