Pulsar
Product Description
Charlet Moser's Pulsar, introduced in 1984, was a significant improvement over the first widely distributed real ice tool, the Simond Chacal that many old-time climbers still remember with nostalgia. A few years later, CM introduced the first bent shaft, and then an interchangeable shaft system which make it possible to use three different shafts (short straight, short curved, long). The latter system appears to be as reliable and solid as a normal tool. They also had for a few years a lighter version of the Pulsar with a straight hollowed shaft which has an excellent balance.CM's Pulsars are well-proven tools, and have been used on some of the hardest climbs ever.

My first ice tools
My first ice tools for many years. I changed them this year but i really loved them. If you ever used the Pulsar you know how comfortable the new and modern ice tools are. Every year i had bloody finger backs because of the contact to the ice.
They are really a bit more heavy than modern ones, but still great.

My first ice tools
I used these tools for years back in the mid to late 1990's. Cut my teeth, and fingers, on ice climbing with these. Climbed more routes with these tools any set of tools. I had the straight shaft pair. Lead my stiffest routes on these tools; Murchison Falls (in 5 conditions), Malignant Mushroom (WI5) and Transparent Fool (WI5). For the time the weight and swing were awesome. The hammer could really drive a pin.
