denalidave Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Damn they look huge. And, judging by the last photo, available at Home Depot? Or is that Lowes? Cool. Quote

genepires Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 those are costco racks in the background Quote
edwardsm Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) they look almost exactly like the Aciesse Saladture axes, down to the fuzzy-looking silicone grip and the birdlike crest on the blade... http://www.aciessesaldature.com/saldature/saldature.asp?Lang=IT&Sez=Cli&cat=3 edit: specifically, the "murcialago ergal" aluminum one...

denalidave Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 those are costco racks in the background That was my third guess... Costco really does have everything. Quote
Cobra_Commander Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 That guy is way too skinny to be a Costco patron. Quote
DPS Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Clearly this tool is available at Costco. Everything is giant there. Quote
Dane Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 Any place that has boxes and more boxes of Scarpa boots on the rack I want to be shopping there. Quote
RafalA Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 they look almost exactly like the Aciesse Saladture axes, down to the fuzzy-looking silicone grip and the birdlike crest on the blade... http://www.aciessesaldature.com/saldature/saldature.asp?Lang=IT&Sez=Cli&cat=3 edit: specifically, the "murcialago ergal" aluminum one... Which funnily enough look and are named the same as the Climb Bubu tools... http://www.climbubu.com/Equipmnt/bb_mur01_e.htm Quote
Dane Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 In my best Jedi mind control voice..."these are not the tools you want, move along now". Nothing like flattery....is there? Pick angles are actually the only real difference and then only +/- 2 or 3 degrees. Quote
wdietsch Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I believe they are one in the same or somehow closely related Quote
EastCoastBastard Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 The are climBubu tools - the tab at the top of the page somebody linked to says so. I'd bet Grivel has just put their name on them for distribution etc. purposes. Quote
wdietsch Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Wasn't "Bubu" sponsored by Grivel years ago? Quote
Jens Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Let's just say that I'll be "taking a rain check" on those. Quote
Dane Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 Grivel Exocet ergal.... from the www.aciessesaldature.com website...I do believe it is the new Jedi "Grivel" tool. Right down to the fuzzy grip. Quote
denalidave Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I'd guess the Grivel set would be cheaper, so long as you buy them at Costco? Quote
Nitrox Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Is that the REI warehouse in Sumner? I assume its Liberty Dist in SLC. Quote
layton Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 what's going on with that anchor in the ice photo? Quote
Peakpimp Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 what's going on with that anchor in the ice photo? I thought that same thing. Quote
G-spotter Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 How are you gonna retrofit a hammer to one of these Quote
wdietsch Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 what's going on with that anchor in the ice photo?
