Using the Quark kinda feels like cheating somehow!It's super efficient in placments and cleaning, very well balanced, and the grip fits a wide range of hand sizes.

Great for delicate placements, well balanced tool. Good for small hands. The best I have used.

everyone seems to have one!

A joy to swing. Very little force needed to get a good pick. Reaches over the top of bulges very well. The teeth at the base come in handy on steep ice when you choke up on the shaft (both the pick and the teeth on the base engage on the ice)

I used Cobra's last year and they worked very well for me. However, I was talked into a set of Quarks this fall and what a pleasure they are to climb with. Pick placements require a lot less effort and force. The grip rest is great for those with a tendancy of sandwhiching the pinky. Wouldn't dream of going back to the Cobra's.

I attribute my sucess at leading Grade 4 my 1st season on ice to these tools! I've swung some friends tools and am amazed how the Quarks feel when I get back on them. I have slightly smaller than average hands and I think the handle on this tool fits me perfect. I don't see me getting rid of these for a decade!

one swing, one stick. how can you argue with that? the new ones have the pinky guard; should save on some swollen digits.

I love them too much to drytool with 'em

I tried 8 tools before I bought, and these were head and shoulders the best. YMMV of course, but there IS a reason you see so many of these out there. They stick like crazy, remove effortlessly, and are FOR ME the perfect balance of weight and "heft". I've used lots of tools since I bought these, and they are still my favorites. The orange squeezy leash attachment thingie never worked smoothly for me though, and I've gone to an Android leash. The cuff isn't as comfy but the action is 100% better.
