MickVB Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I have a PAIR of new, the green ones, BD Fusion ice/mixed tools. I used them once. Just not for me.... $450.00; OBO. I'll be in Canmore next weekend, can deliver and save shipping. Thx! Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunkiemike Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Just curious, why didn't you like them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickVB Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hey Gunkie.... I only tried them once and may be premature. I'm going to Canmore this weekend to swing'em again.I understand they are a great mixed tool. I'm trying to get a balance between a good mixed tool yet performs well on ice; I know, arn't we all. Its been suggested, by more than one person, to try using the Laser picks. They're only 3mm, and will penetrate ice well, but might not be the best for torquing. Do you have a set? Any thoughts? Thanks for asking. Have a good one, Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunkiemike Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Don't have any, and never used them. But a year or so ago I thought about getting some but was still concerned by all the "they bounce off the ice" comments that surrounded the first generation Fusions. FWIW I see a lot more folks with new Vipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el jefe Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 i thought the laser picks definitely improved their performance on ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickVB Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hey guys, I came across this recent review of the Fusions, 2 months old and informative. Thought you might find it of interest. The author only makes one incorrect reference concerning the Laser pick having the same shape tip as the Titian. Other than that, pretty helpful. Enjoy, Mick http://www.theepicentre.co.uk/blog/black-diamond-fusion-2-review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
