BD Fusion Ice Picks

For anyone who has a pair of the green Fusions and wished they climbed ice better, there is hope! |

If only the picks solved all the other problems with the fusions. |

If only the tools will solve all ice climbing problems. |

I find the handle kind of weird shaped after they're at full size. I almost think manufacturers should just offer different tool sizes from the factory. Looks like the Fusion ice pick is just the tip of the iceberg. Some fellow was out testing some new BD Fuel tools today. What I gathered is that they were basically a more ice-oriented Fusion. No hammer, a softer rubber for the grip and those ice picks standard. Slight change in the angle of the shaft too. |

Interesting, you should have gotten some pictures! Its interesting a replacement for the Reactors hasn't surfaced yet too considering how eager they are to clear stock at $123 a pop! |
