Black Diamond Snow Saw Pro

It is designed specifically for Black Diamond two-part telescopic poles. It comes with three different connecting pins (12mm, 14mm, and 16mm) to ensure a secure fit across most of their two-part pole models.

Attaching the saw to your pole extends your reach, which is essential for cutting clean, deep snow profiles without having to dig a massive, time-consuming trench. It allows you to perform standardized stability tests more efficiently.

Yes, a 35 cm blade is the industry standard for performing common stability tests like the Extended Column Test (ECT) or Compression Test (CT). It provides enough length to isolate columns effectively while keeping the overall tool compact for your pack.

The folding mechanism is engineered for reliability in cold, high-alpine environments. While it is a moving part, it is built to withstand the rigors of backcountry use, though you should always clear ice or snow buildup from the hinge before folding it away.

The saw is designed to fold down into a compact, self-contained unit, which protects the serrated blade and prevents it from damaging the inside of your pack or other gear.
