What are folks' experience using this tool on more moderate ice (WI2-WI3). I used this tool once on an easy WI3, but one time isn't the best gauge. Thoughts?

I have used these tools extensively on low angle ice and snow to WI6 and steep mixed climbing. It does well in all but better at steeper angles. If you are going to primarily be climbing WI2/3 I suggest getting the Petzl Quarks.
