For pure ice and light mixed duty these tools just feel right. They are easy to swing on low angle and they excel on steep ice, especially WI4-5’s. As a devoted weekend warrior these are now my go to tools. I had a chance to take a few laps on the aluminum version (Tech Machine) which was very similar, however with the Carbon version I felt fewer vibrations on any given swing, as the carbon felt just a little more damp. If only Grivel can figure make a length adjustable handle for the large handed folks, everybody could be satisfied. Even as other companies upgrade their tools for the 2018/2019 season, the Tech Machine Carbon will still give them a run for their money.
The absolutely brilliant new Tech Machine Ice Axes from Grivel are, well, brilliant. We've passed them round 5 different testers so far this season and everyone has come back with a resoundingly positive response. These axes work, and they work well.
This video only shows the Aluminum Tech Machine (and other Machine series ice tools) but many of the concepts still apply for the Carbon Tech Machine.
