Philip Burnett's review

Need 2-4 to rack screws and tools. I really like how wide the spine of the clipper is. They don't roll around in the ice clipper slots on your harness. Some people complain about being made of plastic, but I've never had an issue with them. I've been running the same set for >10 years and just jam them in my pack without regard.
