Comments about Black Diamond Fusion Ice Tool:

excellent tool.
this is the fun alternative to leashed climbing. the high BDEL quality standards are self-evident in this tool: using the same interchangeable pick system, good workmanship, adjustable grip length, good matching angle, well balanced.

the tools isn't the lightest (complicated and bomber grip construction), but the balance of the tools is the right compromise between just enough weight in the head to sink the first swing and too much weight (imbalance) that makes delicate drytooling difficult.

i personally have not used these tools in the alpine realm for fear of dropped tool (that's when I use the good old rage tools) but they are excellent for pumpy, technical climbing.
