Product DescriptionThe Turbo Express is Black Diamonds fastest placing screw
In desperate situations, every second counts.
Quick to bite and easy to crank in, the Express screw features a foldable speed-drive knob that is color-coded for quick length identification and offers uninterrupted 360° motion.
The Turbo Express is built in five lengths because sometimes it’s thin and other times you have to drill deep for the solid ice.
The 13 – 22 cm screws are CE-certified, 10 cm is not. Patented (pg. 56).

Voted 5/5 | Very easy to place and very sharp. I like these screws | | Posted Jan 21, 2007 2:43 pm |
| Steve Larson | Still my favorite | | 
Voted 5/5 | What I like best about these screws is their ease of placement. They start easily and go in fast. They also rack well. I'm of mixed opinion on the folding handle. Sometimes they fold up on me while I'm trying the screw them in, but I like the way they fold out of the way while racking. One less thing for slings, etc. to snag on. | | Posted Jan 26, 2007 7:01 pm |

Hasn't voted | really sharp teeth and quick placement, I like these far better than the Helix or 360 by Grivel or the Petzl screws. Not as bulky either and easy to rack. Great ice pro, BD has done it once again!

Hasn't voted | Good screw that stays sharp for a long time. After many seasons my screws are still shiny. Dry'm off after climbing so rust gets no change.
The handle is great. Don't buy screws without them. Altough ini hard ice they can be a bit small to handle with thick gloves on.
Superb product! | | Posted Dec 11, 2007 2:23 pm |

Voted 4/5 | These are great screws and as everyone points out, they rack really well.
Given a choice I would take the Grivel 360 everytime. They are significantly more versatile and efficient than any other screw including Grivel's Helix.
The BD Turbo Express is a great screw and I keep 2 in shorties as the 360 is too hard to start in the shorter sizes. Beyond that it is the 360 everytime. | | Posted Mar 31, 2008 10:17 pm |
