I dont have that this month. I'll check back with you when I do. Frown

cost of travel to pick them up, plus ice tools won't be cleared here until at July 11th. If they sell, you CAN let me know, otherwise, I'll reply again when i have the money.

No it's not ME selling them! Someone else is and I am thinking of purchasing them for myself and wanted to know what people's thought were on this model tool?

Good? Bad? Pro's? Con's?

oh. then i know the product. it's aggressive climb, heavy on the right side, necessary to have powerful shoulders. great handling for the nearly blind (not kidding). quick movements a must on these tools, and a cautious shoe grip. they work like spider hands, and i'd love a pair.

what i'm saying is that they are tad heavier than other products, and have a very specific set of clients they work for. i'm known for hiking and living without sunglasses, these products are perfect fit for my height, climb type..so on and so forth.

Hmm,
OK thanks. I read where one person who had small hands said that they felt that the grips were kinda large on these tools.....
