i have had this bag for awhile now and it works great. easily fits your crampons and other gear. i have used the crampon bags with the mesh panels and they suck. i have not had a problem with points sticking through at all. good product, very functional.

Holds crampons 6 ice screws and a extra pick plus it has a daisy chain for easy securing!!!! Bonus it is durable and affordable!

It'll hold a set of crampons and a couple of ice screws. Perfect for stuffing that stuff in the pack on a ski tour, or in your duffel bag for the plane trip. Mines now 9 years old and still going strong. Use the inside small pocket for a spare crampon screw and other fixits. Altogether excellent.

Just bought this bag and love it. I used to use the orange Black Diamond crampon bag and always found it hard to put crampons away in that small bag, especially when conditions are frigid and you don't have time to mess with such precise fit. The ToolBox is nice and spacious and I can EASILY put my spikes away and don't have to worry about them poking out through the holes (like the orange bag has) and ripping my other gear.

I already use a traditional Black Diamond ice screw storage wrap. My crampon bag tore up so thought I could use this to store an additional 6 screws with my crampons. The photo and description Black Diamond uses leads you to believe there are sleeve protectors built in this product to protect the threads. There are not. Therefore the extra bulk of this product does nothing but add additional weight in my opinion. Better off keeping your crampons and screws separate and tidier in my opinion.

I couldn't find a decent crampon bag in any of the stores. Most of them had venting holes that the crampons points could catch or stick out a little. I finally found this one, for a lot less money than I would have paid for something inferior elsewhere. I've used it all this winter and it's perfect.

The Black Diamond Tool Box is not a viable option for carrying your cramps (or anything else with your cramps). I recently used this product to keep my crampons on the outside of my pack, afraid that the non-sturdy material this bag was made of would tear and rip up everything else inside. Instead, the crampons (while inside the "tool box") tore up everything else that it touched that was on the outside of my pack, including my new helmet, my friend's pack, and other miscellaneous items in my trunk.

The only thing they got right with this item is the daisy chain on back, which happens to work very well.

Also, the item sent to me was black, not the color shown.
