For the price I would only expect to find titanium ones. Even used ones are probably more than that. Not that the titanium ones are bad, but they dull faster. I did managed to find omega screws (with the knobs) as cosmetic seconds for 20 bucks each once (on mgear.com, none now, just looked). Here are some cheap ti ones... link

Thanks alpin fox (read: asshole)... I've seen 10 screws for a hundred out there..just other people beat me to them. I am just looking to get a used ice rack on my limited resources.

[Product Description:

A very affordable way to start learning to lead horizontal ice. The titan places easily in a slushee and possesses the same holding power as the spectre competition. Also ideal for leaving behind in the closet. 5.2oz.

Would you bail off one of these super sketchy screws? I'm looking for a couple ti screws for just that purpose. is any less worse than others in that sub-$20 price range?

Nevermind, I'll ask in the Gear Critic forum.

I was considering the titanium ones, but decided against it after seeing some of the board input. I did manage to pick up some used BD Turbo Express screws for way cheap. Sorry about my post Alpinfox - I was pretty drunk. Thanks everyone else.

TI ones would be good to back up a v thread anchor. I wouldn't rap off just one I don't think. Unless it was a serious "we got's to get the hell outta here" situation. Even then I would send the heavy one and back up the first screw with a second one and watch how the ti one handles. I had a dream last night about a someones rap anchor coming off and them falling. Then in a panic I went down to see if they were okay and they were at the bottom sleeping peacefully in a sleeping bag.

For what it's worth - I've rapped off of single Ti screws a few times and don't normally backup v-threads (unless the ice is funky). I usually haul them along as leaver screws.

That's OK. We're all friends here. Except Layton. I fucking hate that guy.
