"Super confused why this doesn't come default on the tools - it's an awesome addition that just makes sense to have. I'm only disappointed it doesn't come as the default. . ."
"As a more traditional mountaineer, I was glad the prominent spike add-on was available on this tool. For technical ice and drytooling the bigger spike obviously would get in the way, but for us snow field, and WI2 climbers a spike is a handy plus. A positive aspect is it is burly and sharpens quickly and well. Maybe this should’ve been included with the tool originally, but I can see why it was made optional."
"Agree with the other reviewer that these should come standard on the tool so you can attach tethers. $60 extra for a set on top of the ice tool cost is annoying when these come standard on the Nomics. Seems like BD is nickel and dimming."
"Strong and works and fits well."
"The spike is fine but it should come standard on the ice tool from the factory. Otherwise, there is nowhere to connect a set of leashes to protect yourself and your belayer from a tool drop. Seems like a large oversight, especially when leading. It was $50 of salt in the wound after paying for a new set of tools."
"Works great I love being able to switch up my tools from the alpine to hanging out at the drytooling gym. Awesome black diamond!"
"Great design!"
