This is the best ice screw I have ever used!
It bites well in hard water ice and goes in faster than any other screw. Usually placing protection on lead is the crux of ice climbing, but with the 360° handle it's so fast that you don't need to do runouts anymore.
Always carry a couple of these for the crux.

A very good belay device for bringing up to two seconds, but I still perfer the ATC or Variable Controller for belaying because the rope feeds more smoothly.

This is the best belay device I have used. It feeds the rope just as smoothly as an ATC. The rope can be loaded so you can stop a fall with minimal force from your breaking hand or you can give a more dynamic belay.

Good for aid, rarely used for trad. They fit in places where nothing else will.
