Also, any opinions on Smileys Ice Screw with Knob (a good bit cheaper than the above, but the handle doesn fold away like the Express)?
The Smiley’s is nearly the same as the BD with the exception of that which you pointed out. The teeth are nice, threads fine. They are a tiny, tiny bit heavier than the same size in a BD. The nut on the knob has a tendency to come off (they are not ‘fixed’ like on a BD. They can be removed), so I just superglued them in place. Otherwise, good screws for the price. From: Eric I recommend the Smiley’s and the BD’s. The Smileys seem to have a thicker diameter which came in handy last winter on some climbs where there was already a hole in the best ice. The Smileys went in with resistance while the express screws almost slid in and out. Also, we took and painted the hangers depending on the size of the screw which worked great, and help speed up the process of looking for the right screw. From: D-Elvis Smiley’s without question. Inexpensive, quality, and in with one hand. From: Reardon I dig the Omega screws (new name for Smiley’s, I understand). Climbed with them for several seasons perfo
