Petzl: Laser Sonic Ice Screw - Altrec.com Product Description:

No more fumbling to sink a screw as you're gripped on a detached pillar, the Laser Sonic Ice Screw makes snow cones out of the hardest of ice. Petzl now has an answer to the BD Express Screw, with a rotating hangar/handle which requires no handle manipulation, just grab it off your rack and fire away. When the second cleans the pitch no more worries about dropped ice screws, the swivel hanger allows for the screw to remain clipped to the rope when removing from ice.

Integrated hanger / crank handle
Design helps prevent the ice screw from being dropped on removal: it can remain clipped to the rope

smooth, fast, and easy to use The rotating hangar is brilliant and allows the 2nd to very quickly and easily clean a route by leaving the screw clipped into the rope. The screw goes into even very hard water ice relatively easily. All in all I think this screw is probably the best screw on the market right now. 17cm is a good length for all-around alpine use (glacier ice), while 10cm and 13cm are good for water ice when you have a layer of rock underneath and the ice isn't thick enough. I'm not the biggest fan of the ice-flutes, as they are a bit bulky and when climbing I anyway clip them directly, but that's a minor quibble.
