TONS OF ICE CLIMBING HEADS

[CoolClay]

 

Hey guys I just acquired all these brand new older ice replacement heads of many different types. I am looking to get rid of them, they are all brand new, most still have tags still attached. They were originally bought from Campmor.

 

I would like to know the names of the different these different heads if anyone knows what they are.

 

Also if anyone would like to purchase any please send me an email. You can buy as many as you like. I would be happy with $3/piece, buy 6 get 2 free plus shipping of course. A few of the tags say they originally cost $9.

 

I am also selling 2 Chouinard ice hammer/picks in good but used condition. $20 each plus shipping.

 

I really want to get rid of these so send me an offer for all the pieces (not the axes) and I'll probably accept.

wow... that is a blast from the past

PM sent for both north wall hammers.

[Peter_Puget]

That isn't a North Wall Hammer. It has a much shorter handle than a NWH and was called an alpine hammer by GPIW. I have climbed WI IV using one of these and found it to be a pretty sucky tool. They do however make GREAT route gardening tools.

The 4th one down on the left and the 3rd & 4th down on the right are all for the Forrest Mjollnir Hammer. Bill Coe and I own one and would likely be interested in one or two of each of those three. The tubular ones and any with attachment holes matching them are likely for the original Lowe Hummingbirds. The first generation was just a cylinder of metal on a handle where as later versions looked more like the head of a modern tool.

 

Maybe check this page as well:

Here is one of Bill's pics of the Mjollnir (top) and the regular Forrest fixed-head Mjollnar below it:

 

 

And here's a pic of the later generation hummingbirds:

Didn't the Forrest Lifetime also take tube picks? I'm unsure, but I think the early Lowe tools had a single attachment hole through the side of the tube (no plate welded on the end).

[JosephH]

It did, but the attachment plates, screw holes, and serration count on the ones he has above don't appear to match the Forrest hammer as seen below...

 

[CoolClay]

So now that you guys are throwing names around, some of the tags have stuff that is barely readable but I can make it out now that you mention names. Bottom left picks says Lifetime Victor II, the Nut picks 3rd down on the right, and 4th picks down on right and picks on the top right all say Mjolliner.

[JosephH]

So how much do you want for the three sets of Mjollnir picks?

[CoolClay]

So your referring to these 3

sets?

 

 

They all say Mjolliner on their tags even though the mount hole patterns appear different on all three. Anyway thats 18 picks total.

They're yours for $45 plus shipping. Also so you know what a great deal your getting the tags on the picks to the right say $11/piece.

[billcoe]

hmmm, I'll take the Moljnir picks and share them with Joseph if that works for him (and for you).

 

My email is billCoe at (use the @) gmail dot com, can you advise if you will paypal it or do you want to be payed via check?

[JosephH]

Oh, Bill and I will take them. We'd want the two on the left in your photos just above and the short stubby picks in the photos below of the ones we'd want. The photo of the ones on the right just above don't look to be Forrest picks.

 

If Bill will cover them then I will split it with him...thanks.

 

[billcoe]

consider it done then.

 

Paid, thanks Clay. If you need anything else just ask.

Ok I sent Bill a paypal request for the $45 plus shipping. Ok so you/him want the 3 sets you have pictured.

[JosephH]

Yeah, that would be great, thanks CoolClay!

[CoolClay]

No problem at all just give them a nice home, and enjoy them! They've sitting in a dark closet for the past 10-20 years.

[CoolClay]

These picks are still available for the same price $3/pick buy 6 get one free! plus shipping.

 

[JosephH]

CoolClay - Tarbuster over on ST identified your other four picks as Forrest "Lifetime Tools" Vector picks.

[CoolClay]

Yes, yes they sure are! That's great to know. Thank you guys so much for your help, and your sales. Send anyone interested in these picks my way.

[CoolClay]

Last call for the 26 remaining Forrest Lifetime picks. $390 value, I'll sell them all for $50 plus shipping. If not I'll put them on Ebay.

[CoolClay]

I finally got around to putting them on Ebay, get 'em while you still can.

It considered not cool to post links to Ebay auctions.

[CoolClay]

Sorry, thanks for the heads up! I got rid of the link.
