Good All-around Tool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was looking for a tool that would suffice for general mountaineering in addition to basic ice climbing. Based on the reviews and research, this tool seems to be rated as the best for handling multiple endeavors. It feels solid in-hand, and the grips are comfortable. Purchased one tool with the adze, another with the hammer.

Go To For Outdoor Gear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent and quick shipping. Quality products, and a great selection of gear. I was looking for a replacement axe and was able to find the quark on here. Excellent axe, very durable, and surprisingly light.

Easy To Use!

Best Ice Tool For Pure Ice Climbing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Went back and forth with Quark and Nomic several times. Now I finally decided that I like the Quark better than the Nomic on pure ice. I lead WI4. But even when I follow WI5, I also prefer the Quarks. Some minor annoyances. The new thing that allows the pinky rest to fold is nice for plunging, but sometimes on route, if you bang it against ice, it may accidentally fold, and you lose the pinky rest.... I don't really like the index finger rest, and there's no good way to get rid of it.

Versitale Tool For Alpine An Water Ice

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed a second quark to replace a hybrid tool/axe that wasn't working for me on water ice. The quark is a good all-rounder for ice and snow. Doesn't plunge as well as a regular axe, doesn't handle the steep stuff as well as a more aggressive tool. But I'm not the type to get specialized gear for every situation, so this suits me fine.
