Comments about Black Diamond Express Ice Screw:
I purchased these anchors for securing a light weight ice fishing shanty. The anchors made quick work of the ice, screwing in with ease and providing a very secure anchor point. The first day I used them, it was blowing steady at 20 with gusts to 40 and the shanty didn't move an inch. A little pricey, but IMHO, well worth it!

This screw is light and the swivel head on the top of the anchor makes it easy to use. Really sharp!

Comments about Black Diamond Express Ice Screw:
I second the earlier comments and wanted to highlight the good changes. First, the new screws are all stainless steel, my prior generation and other screws rust up even with good care. The new 'coffee grinder' cylinder has become a cone that is much easier to manipulate with gloves and they are now color coded.
I have used BD's, Petzl's, Grivel's, and DMM's screws. All are lacking in comparison. Grivel 360s get into pockets best but that is a more rare need.

Comments about Black Diamond Express Ice Screw:
These ice screws are super fast to insert and extract. The small handle that flips out makes this possible. However, when wearing thick, bulky gloves, the handle may seem a bit small. Regardless, BD really perfected ice screws with this one.
