Philip Burnett's review

Ok, there are a lot of good screws out there these days. I still prefer these currently for a few reasons: 1. Because of the integrated draw, these are lighter than many aluminum screws + a draw 2. They have two clipping points which allow for quick in-series anchors to be made 3. They are full steel tubes which don't lock up in wet ice like most aluminum tubes do 4. They are really easy to get started and drive in because of the fixed crank arm 13cm is perfect for most of your rack (just make sure to dig down to good ice if the outer layers have gone bad - which is a better plan than trying to drill past the bad layer with a long screw).
