"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve been climbing with these Express screws for years, and they’re still my go-to for speed and reliability. The crank handle is smooth and fast to deploy—even with gloves on—and the bite is immediate thanks to the sharp teeth and tapered tube. They’re the kind of screw you can trust when the ice gets real."" When every second counts on vertical ice, the Black Diamond Express Ice Screw delivers unmatched speed and confidence. Factory seconds may carry minor cosmetic blemishes, but their proven performance remains untouched—each screw still meeting Black Diamond’s rigorous standards and backed by warranty. Engineered for efficiency, the Express features a tapered tube design that minimizes friction for faster placement, while the advanced tooth geometry bites quickly into hard ice. Its color-coded crank handle spins smoothly for one-handed 360° operation, letting us move with precision when conditions demand focus. Lightweight, durable, and field-proven, this screw is a trusted partner for serious ice and alpine routes."
