The Bulldog can be set into a hole abandoned by your axe, and pounded in - all easily with one hand. I like it, and if placed deeply, I trust it as much or more than my own tools (though not as much as a screw). Nice for iced cracks or other situations where screws won't work. Very happy with mine, and it's half the price of a screw.

I've used the Bulldog a few times, and my opinion of it has changed. I originally viewed it as a bit of a joke, but now I use it when I can't get in a screw, on thin ice or in turf. I doubt it would hold much of a fall, but it's good enough to slow you down a bit, which is sometimes all you need in Scotland. It can be awkward to place, as you need both hands-one to steady it and the other to hammer it in. However, this isn't too much of a problem as I doubt I'd try to use it on anything steep. Generally, it seems ideal for low grade Scottish gullies where protection can be sparse but not essential.
