Black Diamond Reactor Ice Tool

Black Diamond Reactor Ice Tool description

Black Diamond brings incredible leashless performance to pure ice routes with the Reactor Ice Tool. Its curved upper shaft clears ice bulges and cauliflowers with ease while the Black Diamond Laser pick provides excellent penetration in bullet-hard blue. The Reactor Ice Tool's TPU-coated, staggered bottom grip allows easy matching on both ice and mixed routes with minimal pick shift, and the mini-hammer is just big enough for pounding the occasional pin in a gear-protected line.

I just used this tool the other day and I am very impressed with it (might just get added to the gear rack). I loved the handle. It really protects your knuckles from protrusions and cauliflower when you swing and set your pick in. Since it is a Black Diamond product it carries with it the Black Diamond ice tool weight that their product line has, but it felt lighter than most of Black Diamond's tools. It did great on a couple of mixed routes also. Couldn't go wrong with this tool if you are thinking about going leashless. Great price too.
