Placing and removing these are dreamy. The thread design is great. The handle is a luxury when you're pumped. Racking can be a bit of a hassle, but take a bit of care and it works fine. Wouldn't want a whole rack of these, but a few are nice for specific placements.

Perhaps this axe IS too light for all-around use, but it is a great piolet. It woked fine on Rainier for glacier travel and as a second tool for a couple pitches of ice. I did not have to drive pickets, however. The Raven would be better for driving pickets and as an all-around mountain axe. Fit and finish of the tool is stellar.

Wouldn't trade my cobras for anything else.
Update 4/2005: Still feel the same. Great tool.

Best crampon I've tried. I wish I could review it again. Light and verstaile. I've used them for steep, fat ice and thin, delictate mixed work, as well as on Rainier for glacier travel. I am looking forward to replacing my front points, and the new antibott plates are tougher, can be left on with less hassle and work better.
