sobo Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 I'd be interested in the BD Stingers. That is, if they are the ones with the "waterfall recurve droop" to them that fit on "old skewl" BRS X-15s and such. A quick check on www.bdel.com indicates that the Stinger is no longer available, only Fusion, Laser/Titan, and Alaska picks. The Laser/Titan (so slashed because when you click to enlarge, BD uses the same jpeg file for both picks, so I assume that they are the same pick???) appears to look a lot like my current X-15 picks, which I've always referred to as "Cobra" picks. So is the Stinger pick the same as the Laser/Titan pick? The site says that the Laser comes standard on the Cobra tool, and I (and John at Hyperspud) have always referred to the picks on my X-15s as "Cobra" picks. Quote
rhyang Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 I believe the Laser is ice-specific (thinner, b-rated) and the Titan is similar to the Cobra (thicker, suitable for mixed/alpine, t-rated), except that it doesn't have that annoying bulge in the top that cuts into your hand when trying to use the tool in cane position. No idea about the Stinger. Quote
IceIceBaby Posted January 8, 2005 Author Posted January 8, 2005 The picks on this BDBP are stinger Basically, they are like the cobra but without the bottom close to the shaft teethes. The Alaska is the straight picks Grivel Rambo Goulotte Pick Grivel Rambo Evolution Pick I hope this helped you Quote
Jedi Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Rhyang: That annoying "bulge" is easily fixed with a grinder. Just spray the newly exposed metal with a little paint to keep the rust at bay. Quote
sobo Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 It did, indeed, help me in my decision. Thank you. It would appear, then, that I have one Cobra and one Stinger pick for my tools, and that your picks should obviously work on my X-15s. If the two Stingers are still available, I would like to acquire them from you. Let's switch to PM for payment options and shipping discussion. Quote
sobo Posted January 10, 2005 Posted January 10, 2005 IIB, Your PM box is full. Incoming PMs are being rejected. Please clear some room. TIA. Quote
onawym Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 I'm interested in the Alaska picks if you still have them. Quote
