Comments about Petzl Aztar Ice Tool:

I mostly use this tool for water ice in New England, but find it equally useful on alpine routes and snow slog approaches. Plenty of clearance for bulges on ice climbs, but not so much that plunging the shaft and/or piolet canne is tedious. Lightweight, but fine sticks if you swing efficiently. Great tool.
