Black Diamond Turbo Ice Screws
Black Diamond Tubular Ice Screws are made for the climber who values life and isn't willing to mess with sub-par designs when the chips are down. In desperate situations seconds count. And when it's one screw between you and the deck, quality counts. That's why Black Diamond Tubular Ice Screws are made from 4130 aircraft-quality seamless steel tubes, pierced and cold-drawn for superior strength. The teeth are cut on a vertical mill then heat treated and plated with bright nickel. With aggressive threads for holding power and tapered tubes for ease of placement, this is a screw that cuts sharp, pitch after pitch, year after year.
Bottom Line: High strength and durability for years of solid placements.

This is a great screw and my favorite of different ice screws I have. It is really easy to place. The teeth are still razor sharp after two seasons of climbing on it. There are no signs of major wear. For the money it is your best bet. I prefer these over the new express screws. It only takes a few more seconds to place these.
Change me.
