Product details
The A960 pairs a steel head and spike with a curved aluminium alloy shaft. It is offered in lengths between 60 and 80 cm and is listed as meeting the CE standard.
A bend in the upper shaft moves the hand away from the slope, giving knuckle clearance and a more natural swing when the pick is driven into firm snow or ice, while the shaft stays long enough to plunge into snow for support. That makes the A960 a versatile choice for alpine routes, snow gullies and general mountaineering.
Length is the main sizing decision: shorter axes favour steeper ground, longer ones walking and plunging on moderate slopes, so a 60 to 80 cm range lets a brand cover both. Buyers should state the length split, grip and leash options and marking in the RFQ. Power Honour can produce the A960 as an OEM or private-label axe and adapt it to a drawing.
