all I was saying is if it's way past spec, it's like arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. It just doesn't matter.

 

Not true, it isn't 'way past spec'. I've heard many people bitch about smacking the heads of their Charlet tools and dinging them to the point that they can't replace the picks. And that would suck.

I agree that there are many really good tools on the market these days, and almost all of them will work quite well.

 

However, to say that BD tools are more durable is just plain comical. BD is well known to put out far more unsafe (eventually recalled) gear than almost all other companies. Some of the Rage shafts came apart. I have a friend who was soloing once when the head of his Black Prophet came off the shaft! hellno3d.gif

 

BD makes some really good stuff, but reliability is definitely not their strength.

Nooo, I was talking about the durability of the HEADS of the tools. rolleyes.gif

Dru's right, I'm going to sell my Rages and climb with a giant squid in each hand. Might have to change my leashes though. rolleyes.gif
