Love them!

Super light and super sharp. Have proven to be fantastic in Colorado ice, still haven’t used them in glacier ice but foreseeing they will perform well.

Like a hot knife

Love these screws! They start extremely well and are very light. It’s nice to get a steel ice screw that weighs as little as some aluminum screws and never gets stuck in the wet ice like aluminum ones.

Too many problems

Until I used them the design looked very promising, but there are just too many problems with them.
1. too sticky
2. hanger to weak
3. teeth come off

1. Stickiness. They are extremely sticky, it happened to me multiple times that I wasn't able to drive it all the way in. This has never been a problem on steel screws and on BD and Petzl alu screws stickiness is noticeable but at worst it's just inconvenient. With these it might be impossible or drive them in even on second or third attempt (after taking them all the way out and back in).
2. Hanger is made of thin hollow aluminum and it bends every time you place and clean the screw. Over time it accumulates fatigue and breaks off.
3. There are problems with connection between steel and alu on all brands. On these ones, however, the problem seems to result in losing teeth much more often than BD. It happened to me and a few of my friends. With BD I've only heard about cases of missing teeth but I haven't witnessed the problem myself.
