In reply to Jeff Ingman and other happy kuzniaszpeju customers:
Have any of you bought replacement picks for DMM Apex/Switches specifically, from them? I could do with getting new picks for Switches, the current blades are the ones that came with the tools when I got them in 2013! But looking at the pictures on their website they make picks with no hammer or adze attached, and and alternative pick with an extension to which it seems you bolt on one of their designs of hammers or adzes.
I think I could live with out the adze on my Switch picks, but a hammer (even if it is hard to use with the switch shaft shape) is useful for smacking bulldogs and warthogs in. I'm interested if anyone has used the picks with no hammer/adze and whether they missed them? I guess if you only climb water ice there's no real need for a hammer, but for UK mixed I think even if you aren't carrying pitons, with turf gear there is still some need for a hammer.
