EliteClimb, Ice Rock and Krukonogi Ice Tool

I have acquired for Verti Call those nice carbon, titanium, and composite lightweight tools. I would like some feedback/reviews from users. Anyone could give me an honest opinion about the performance of the tools. They really seem fantastic but hadn't got the time to test the tools yet. Thanks

This threads is so popular. Any feedback, comments regarding the tools?

I own a pair of aspeeds and they are tits for anything steep and hard, by far the best hard drytool ive ever used. They can climb ice, but its much in the way you can drink a milkshake through a coffee straw, it works but there is better tools for the job.
The kruk tools felt like a specialist competition peice that stuck to comp holds like stink on shit, wasnt the best on outdoor drytool routes though.
Was not impressed by the eliteclimb raptor due to weird handle, but they are light as all hell. Those salamanders are light as hell and would make a sweet alpine tool.
The icerock idol is disturbingly light and weirdly durable in my experience.

A lot of hard drytoolers really like the aspeeds.

No worries. Im something of an enthusiast for strange ice tools. Im stoked to the moon to see veri call is carrying very specialized gear, truly one of the last true gear shops.

marc-- do you want to comment on your prices? i just googled the icerock idol--it looks like you are selling them for ~400CAD when they are available for $200USD from epictv. 

I've only climbed on the Icerock Idol and Eliteclimb Salamandra, simply put, these Polish and Russian tools are the future.
Thank you Marc, for doing us Westerners a favor.

WTF!!!!! The distributor said it's 415$CAD including shipping. I decided to put 399$ CAD including shipping... I have to write an email :(

Thanks for the advice.

ICE ROCK confirm they did not supply Epic TV.    WTF!!!!. Where those tools come from? By the back door???

Fyi, the Idol is sold for 209 € in stores in France.

Have used an ice rock idol as a carry along tool to use on steep snow slopes instead of nomics.... freakishly light but has been the perfect tool for this except I wish it was a bit longer.... 

Thanks for tips guys.
