Just what the Dr. ordered!
I purchased these anchors for securing a light weight ice fishing shanty. The anchors made quick work of the ice, screwing in with ease and providing a very secure anchor point. The first day I used them, it was blowing steady at 20 with gusts to 40 and the shanty didn't move an inch. A little pricey, but IMHO, well worth it!

Light and solid
This screw is light and the swivel head on the top of the anchor makes it easy to use. Really sharp!

Update on the Best
I second the earlier comments and wanted to highlight the good changes. First, the new screws are all stainless steel, my prior generation and other screws rust up even with good care. The new 'coffee grinder' cylinder has become a cone that is much easier to manipulate with gloves and they are now color coded.I have used BD's, Petzl's, Grivel's, and DMM's screws. All are lacking in comparison. Grivel 360s get into pockets best but that is a more rare need.

Easy to place, easy to rack
Title pretty much sums it up. My number one choice - I also have Simonds (harder to rack) and Omega Pacific.

This is currently the best Screw 2008
I have found BD ice screws to be very easy and fast to place. They stay sharp. In fact there the most used ice screw I've seen used, there the standard. There expensive, but worth it, when your hanging out.

Only if all ice screws were like these
These ice screws are super fast to insert and extract. The small handle that flips out makes this possible. However, when wearing thick, bulky gloves, the handle may seem a bit small. Regardless, BD really perfected ice screws with this one.
