Ice Clipper

Best value and functionality for holding ice tools and screws. I recommend to get 2 for each side of the harness!

They work great for screws and tools. I haven’t tried the competition, but don’t see any need. Get some. Make sure your harness is compatible, otherwise you’ll want a clip on style from another brand. These are a necessity for ice climbing.

Even though these are smaller than other brands they fit the ice clipper loops in most harnesses readily. The smaller size also keeps the screws compacted and they tend to not slam against each other or around as much versus larger ones. Main downside is if I need a lot of screws on my harness I’m using more of these than I might otherwise with a larger one.

Overall good

My only complaint is that these tend to rotate on my harness while walking around. When climbing though they're great. Like the top shelf. The gate operates very smooth. I had 4 screws on these pretty comfortably, not sure what the limit would be

These work perfectly for what they were designed for, racking ice screws. Don’t hang your ice tools on them while rappelling, that’s not what they were designed for.

BD Clipper

Lightweight but durable. Fits well on BD harnesses.

Good overall

This gear loop is a good one overall. The only downside is with my Arcteryx alpha 395 harness, the little lip that is supposed to secure the clipper the the right spot on the harness is to small. I would recommend the older gen petzl ice clippers which are essentially the same design but doesn’t have this issue. Moral of the story try it at your local store with your harness if you can before hand.

Easy way to clip in your screws. Way better than using gear loops.
