A weight saving handled ice screw that is easy to place due to its ergonomic aluminium hanger, optimised tooth shape and a wind-in/out handle with a long crank. The major (in fact the only) change between this and the previous version is that the new model has three teeth rather than four which is said to improve the bite and so make them easier to place. The hanger is made as small as possible to facilitate screwing into sculpted ice. Strength and durability are also good due to the steel tube, which is treated to reduce weight and increase strength, and specific threading.
NB The 10cm length is not rated as PPE and is not CE tested - Petzl sell it for direct aid only, but we bet it gets used on really shallow ice where anything else is too long!
- Steel tube for easy bite and screwing in any type of ice.
- Lighter tube and optimised threads for increased durability.
- Optimal shape of the tri-toothed drill improves the bite into ice.
- Easier sharpening with the drill’s patented sharpening reserve.
- Compact hanger to facilitate screwing into sculpted ice.
- Integrated flexible crank provides excellent grip and an optimized lever, making it easier and faster to screw in.
- Colour-coding facilitates identifying the length of a screw.
- Supplied with a protective cap.
