KingsMM Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I'm looking at tools to buy for this winter. I'm on a budget. I'm looking to do WI and some Alpine routes with them. Maybe a bit of dry tooling but not much. What would you recommend? What about the STUBAI HORNET for 100$ each? Tools are so expensive i don't want to buy the wrong pair.

John Frieh Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 225 for a way better set of tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) I might be talked out of my BD Cobras (two hammers, but I have an adze attachment to throw in too). They have the leashless mod on them (removable), and are in great shape. ***SOLD*** Â Â Edited October 17, 2007 by porter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderfour Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Used tools are definitely the best first set of tools, especially with the release of the next-gen BD tools. Â The rage's that John is selling are very good. You can equip them with a bunch of doo-dads to make them leashless. Â The Cobras that Porter is offering are lighter and transmit less vibration. Attaching leashless doo-dads is a littl emore difficult, but still possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmace Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Goig budget on tools is one the worst things you can ever do..sure by second hand but go grab a bunch of tools at the stor and see what you like and dont like then try and find somes used tools..for instance the tools porter has I cannont stand, climbed on them a few times and to me their the worst tools on the market..but my parnter loves them..so be careful cause having a bad or slighty lame tool is the worst feeling in the world even worse if you only had to kick in another 100$ to have the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 All the tools that the guys just posted about to buy are good. I'd steer clear of the stubai's as you'll have a harder time getting replacement picks. When I started climbing, Stubai's were king of the hill...but no longer.
