Many people complain that some of the ice screws from this company do not work well.
Indeed, it is so. I had to check two models 150 and 130 mm. The 150 works fine, and the 130 doesn't cut well. Examined and put in order using a simple device shown in the photo. By increasing the "angle of attack" of the petals by 5 degrees, to which the knives are attached using an adjustable wrench (force of about 50 kg on the handle of the wrench), excellent results have been achieved.

So, when purchasing an ice screw of this brand, be sure to take care of the adjustable wrench. Image - DIY ice screw repair
