rhyang Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 I was wondering about whether ice screws marked 2nd quality / blemished are generally ok or if there could be issues that would make them more difficult to place, etc. Specifically curious about Black Diamond turbo & turbo express. Thanks for any info ! Quote
sobo Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 From where are you acquiring them? That could be an issue (i.e., eBay v. sierratradingpost, etc.). Some warranty or return policy may be attached to them, or not. As far as safety goes, I'd use them, since they're BDs. I'd be way less inclined to even consider them if they were made by Irbus.

bDubyaH Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 get em, i've been climbing on factory 2nd petzl spirits for a decade. still here. they can't charge $50 for gear with blems on it and won't sell it if it has failed a safety standards test Quote
rhyang Posted November 25, 2004 Author Posted November 25, 2004 Anyone ever heard of defects in coating or burrs on teeth or anything like that ? I'm assuming these kinds of things would affect ease of placement / removal and not safety... Quote
