Eagle Claw Safety Ice Picks are designed as a safety tool to be accessed quickly if you fall through the ice. The stretchable cord connects the two retractable, hand-held spikes. The spikes are only activated with downward pressure, when needed. If you should happen to break through the ice, Eagle Claw Safety Ice Picks are used to dig into the ice and pull yourself out of the freezing water. Ice safety picks are as much a necessity for anglers as ice cleats. Designed with sharp stainless steel spikes, polymer handles, and safety cords.
