E-Climb Cryo 2 ice tools

Anyone have or tried the E-Climb Cryo 2's (new version is the Cryo O2). Highly modular, i.e., can trade mixed picks for pure ice, different parts can be traded out, removed, replaced. Have had an eye on E-Climb tools & accessories (Spanish company) for a long time. Tried a pair from the climbing shop in Ouray about 5 years ago; they had cuffs (instead of leashes....smart idea, however, too easy to accidentally clip out of). I see they still offer the cuffs w/some improvements but I have no interest in these anyway.

I don't like the too-small hammer on the Cryo in the event it's needed (which I do use on FA/repeat routes that need pins, hexes pounded in, placing bolts (ugh w/an ice tool), etc. when other pro, i.e., cams will not work). Any experience with this being a hindrance for those of you who may have a Cryo but found the hammer too small?

Another advantage (to me) is that the spike will take at least 2 and even 3 biners in case one needs to clip it. Most other tools struggle to take one -- must be the right biner or it will get get hung up if rotation, even initial clip is desired. BDs take most types of biners; a surprising number of tools do not unless it's the perfect fit. That said, I don't clip the spike that often but the the Cryo spike is the largest out there (I think) and the least 'spiky', i.e., less worry about impalement, ripping clothes when packing up, clipping to harnesses, etc.

A Colorado friend picked up a pair last year and sold virtually all other highly technical tools he had (Nomics, Fusions, Cobras, etc.). Says no better tool out there (ice, mixed, dry tooling etc.).

As a side, E-Climb is not that well known (at least that's my experience) and even the main web site is not all in English (www.e-climb.com). But they have some very cool, out-of-the-box stuff like ice screws w/replaceable, screw-on tips (obviates the need to sharpen screw tips).

Thoughts on the Cryo O2 (the newer, upper-end ice tool) -- besides its spendy price?

They got rid of the built in belay plate? Now how will I awkwardly belay my leader?

Yeah, a weird gimmick, however, if you check out their website, you can see the other 8 or so tools that still have it. You can always use one of the remaining slots like the old stitch plate belay device but none of that ever made sense...I still don't get it. Not sure they fixed the wrist cuff problem either nor am I sure that the O2 version is designed to use them.
