I have had the pleasure of using the pulsars and an older version of the simonds and I just enjoy the quasars so much better. They feel more natural and feel a little bit longer too than the pulsars which seems to make them go into the ice better. If they shaped the picks a little better on the tip so you wouldnt have to file them as much that would be great. Similar Products Used: pulsars |

I've used Quasars for 3 years, and they've been great. I had a set of Simond Pirahnas but I tried the Quasars and had to have them.I've used Black Diamond products,as well as other charlet tools but I feel the Quasars are your best bet for vertical ice. The cost is worth it! The newer leashes work well.Be sure to modify your picks for the best preformance. Similar Products Used: Charlet, Black Diamond,Simond,Grivel |

i have had them for years they are great. added a grade to my climbing. if you think they are expensice buy them in canada for about 1/2 the price. in 3 years i broke 1 pick. the new BD's seem okay but since 90% use these you can borrow a pick if u are desperate Similar Products Used: grade 8 crampons |

Beautifully made if a bit on the heavy side. They give solid placements with ease. The curve of the handle works well for all but the worst bulges. There is a good reason why every guide I've known uses them. Owners might want to file down the corners of the pick teeth to make it easier to extract (wish it took BD picks!). |

Great tool! The grips and saf-lock leashes are superb. I think these are the most important features because they have to do so much with the comfort you have with the tool. very spendy though. If you can afford them, they'll treat you well. |

The Charlet Moser Quasar is so efficient at sticking to waterfall ice that you can downgrade most WI4-5 ice if you use these tools, especially if the route has seen significant traffic. I find it hard work to swing these tools all day but they work extremely well. Very durable! Similar Products Used: Simond Naja and various straight shaft tools that are barbaric in comparison. |
