The knob flops around after a season or less of use... any fixes for this?

Otherwise they are my favorite ice screws, hands down. Surprised they don't get much chatter on the forums.

They place super fast and easy. Up there with the best, imo. Light for a steel screw; and they don't get that sticky feeling in wet ice like the aluminums. The tooth profile is designed to be very easy to sharpen for like two whole millimeters worth of sharpening. rack like a million of them on a clipper, no problem.

Only thing is that loose knob. Maybe smack the rivet with a hammer?!?

Camp replaced mine with the loose knob. Contact them.

That's pretty cool of them... still a tough call to be without my sending screws for a couple weeks during ice season. I'll drop them a line. Thanks!
