Why We Like The Express Ice Screws
The Black Diamond Express Ice Screws' unique taper reduces ice fracturing and eases placements. A large crank knob takes less fine motor skills to use than a small one, so you can place the Express Ice Screw when you're pumped like crazy and really need it. Black Diamond uses a stainless steel hanger to eliminate rusting and decrease sun-induced melt-out. Two carabiner holes make sketchy hanging belays easy to set up.

Great option for ice screws
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I have a mixed rack of petzl lasers and these. They function similarly - it doesn't feel like they are faster or slower to engage or screw in compared to the petzls. I sharpen them after every outing with the petzls, and they retain a sharp point well. What's also nice is it hasn't been a huge pain to rack them together; they fall at similar angles on the ice screw rack on the harness. I'd definitely recommend.
