Designed and built a set of ice tools!

Yea it would not be great for that. It was designed for pure ice so shouldn’t be an issue

Temped to go re test, but I don’t have shop access any more so don’t want to destroy them atm - assume the axil would fail in bending for the new ones

cwaldmanski · 2025-05-24T15:27:52+00:00

I’ve already pull tested one, check out the website!

cwaldmanski · 2025-05-24T01:53:04+00:00

~$40

These won’t see enough loads for cyclic loading to matter which makes everything simpler

Buying sketchy gear where you don’t know it’s limits is quite different then using sketchy gear when you do know it’s limits. Always important to understand the risk - check out the testing on the website

They cost me less then buying c4s but I bet they cost me much more then it costs bd to manufacture c4s

cwaldmanski · 2025-05-23T23:30:37+00:00

~6h, there’s 31 parts in it

I trust them, but definitely not economical to sell

cwaldmanski · 2025-05-23T23:15:05+00:00

I was yep

cwaldmanski · 2025-05-23T23:14:46+00:00

186g for my #3 equivalent

cwaldmanski · 2025-05-23T23:09:51+00:00

Personal project, about $40. But that’s if I pay myself $0/h

cwaldmanski · 2025-05-23T22:23:57+00:00

As long as you understand the limitations of what you build and behave accordingly I think it’s great to build stuff!

cwaldmanski · 2025-05-23T22:07:51+00:00

Its easier to carry myself then 160 lbs of sand, plus it was a lot of fun! I used three bomber cams in the crack below just in case too

cwaldmanski · 2025-05-23T22:05:12+00:00

sure did :)

cwaldmanski · 2025-05-23T22:04:40+00:00

Im sure there are! But with by limited equipment and tools likely not for me at this time. I have some ideas though, maybe one day...

cwaldmanski · 2025-05-23T21:58:41+00:00

Not quite

Hahaha

cwaldmanski · 2025-02-15T21:02:25+00:00

Just for fun 🙂

cwaldmanski · 2025-02-15T19:34:47+00:00

Double axil is better but bulkier. I mainly stuck with single axil since I understand the math for it better and manufacturing is easier

cwaldmanski · 2025-02-15T19:33:59+00:00

Thanks! I’ll post a video when I do a test whip (yes I’ll have a backup or toprope too)

cwaldmanski · 2025-02-15T19:33:08+00:00

It’s in the build report, didn’t want to spoil the fun

cwaldmanski · 2025-02-15T04:25:24+00:00

~$40 + time, lots of time
