Summary:
I have owned a pair of 007's for 3 years now (they used to be under the Lucky name-the manufacturer in Spain). I've had great experiences with them. They've performed well on alpine ice routes in the Sawtooth Range and Tetons. No problem leading water ice either. They have a little less clearance than other bent shaft tools, but leading WI 5 was no problem. Very similar to Charlet Moser Pulsars.

Summary:
excellent beginner's tool. not enough clearance for leading on bulgy ice.
(alright if you have no nerve endings in your knuckles).
