Impressive

I have been ice-climbing a lot upto some 20 years ago. Now that I moved back to Alaska I decided to get into it again. Not familiar with all the innovations in the last 20 years, I choose these fuel hammers. Darn they are nice! Some much better than any tools I have ever worked with in the past. No regrets here.

Great ice tools!

I can’t say enough about these! They’re comfortable and work great on steep ice, not to mention they look really cool! The green rubber is very grippy and easy to hold onto. The only thing I wish is for the extra spacers for the handle to be easier to find, still a 5 star product.

Great tools

I bought these to replace my 1st generation green fuel tools. The new forged picks look to be a definite improvement over the old (stamped?) picks. Time will tell the durability tale. Nothing really has changed aside from the picks, color, and the bottom fang is now designed to be removed for dry tooling. So a win there, because I liked the my old tools. BD should disseminate better information about the replacement picks. The difference between the Ice and Ice+ is actually pick angle. I thought, and believe most would too, that Ice+ meant it was for both dry tooling and ice, when in fact the Ice+ is the same design as the natural ice pick with a flatter angle to compensate for tools with more downturn in their head. So if you want to climb ice with these tools the ICE+ picks are the recommended pick from BD. The manual is horrible and written for all of BD's Tools and Mountaineering Axes. I know most people throw this out but I like to geek out and enjoy deciphering the pictographs.

Fuel Hammer

Solid tools that swing nice. I’ve only used them on straight ice so far and I like the way they handle. The ability to change the grip size is awesome, as different temp days call for different gloves. I’m excited to put a natural ice pick on them, I think the Ice+ picks are a touch a beefy for ice only usage. Also I for sure have to tighten my picks every other lap, which is the only reason for not giving 5 stars.

Ice climbing in the Himalayas

I am one of few people who climb frozen ice here in India. As also we don't have much gear with us but so we share. I used the this tool this year for whole season. Climbed first ascents with it. We had other tolls too, Petzel, trango, grivel different shapes and weight but this BD green one is my all time favorite. I mean weight of the tool can be a choice . I like the weight of this one. A little heavy than others but just solid and perfect and sturdy. Fine swing and very much trustable. The shape of the tool is quite alright.

Great but there is one little thing to improve

First I want to say that I love these Tools. I have used them a lot and in all kinds of conditions even for Drytooling once. I love how they feel and I really like the great balanced weight. The only thing I would change is that the hammer should be modular or at least have a version with a shovel on it.

Great hooking toool!

This tool is great for hooking on rock and ice, as the blade has a very aggressive angle. Swinging and setting the tool in ice requires a bit of getting-used to. Be sure to use the extra spacers that come with it to adjust the handle to your liking i.e. to the size of your hand. Once I got the hang of swinging and setting this tool in ice, I now love this tool for climbing both, pure ice and mixed routes.

Get Your Shots Cause these things are SICK!

I needed to upgrade my Ice tools as I have had an old set that are showing their age. I really didn't think the new axes were going to be that much better. Wow! I was wrong. The grip completely locks your hand in, with better feel than the old strap! Swing weight is nice and balanced. I have been dry tooling with them, but have not hammered ice. They are just so precise and the tip stays nice and sharp. It feels like cheating! If you need to get a new tool, these are Sick! Treat yourself. You wont be sorry!
