Looking for those "speed grinders" I think Omega makes them but grivel used to make some too I think. They are universal screw on knobs for older ice screws. I have 4 charlet moser ice screws and one old BD that are otherwise in great shape. However they are not fitting with the lovely knobs and take a much longer time to set. As I start climbing harder grades, I would like to get my screws in faster and therefore climb safer.
These used to be all over the market. HOWEVER, I could not personally find them within Ouray, Durango, or anywhere in NJ (duh). I called a couple shops in the Daks and came up empty.
The big thing is, im trying to find them by Sunday when I go up to the Cats. I doubt theres gonna be much good ice to climb, but I want them in case I hop on lead. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Anyone see them in any shops by any chance? Im going to call rock and snow in a couple minutes to see if they have em, but doubtful.
IDK how you were planning on getting them by Sunday on Thursday AM, but perhaps you could call one of these outfits up and have them overnight them to you
I was hoping a shop in the Dacks, Gunks, or Catskills would have them and I could buy them at a shop. Not online. Checked overnight shipping and its 40 bucks for 6 dollars worth of parts. LOL. scratch that. I'll have to go oldschool this weekend, or find em somewhere around here or NY
