Multi-use Ice Pick tool makes ideal Holiday gift

Multi-Use Ice Pick

Dec 3, 2024

Most boaters, RVers and outdoorsmen don’t need more tchotchkes for the holidays. Instead, a great alternative is the Shipmate Stainless Steel Pick/Probe from Beckson Marine. With a wide range of uses, low price and available gift box, it makes a highly thoughtful gift.

Simple in appearance, but carefully designed, the Beckson Pick/Probe is available in two sizes: The 7″ version has a robust 4″ stainless steel blade. The Shipmate 5-1/2″ Shorty type has a stout 2-1/2″ tine. Neither model flexes under normal use for increased accuracy and safety from slipping.

The highly sharpened point of the Shipmate Stainless Steel Pick/Probe is ideal for detailed work such as removing caulk, scraping grime, scribing lines and making a pilot hole. Used as an awl, it’ll punch through leather and thin sheet metal. And for chipping ice or getting the last piece of meat out of a lobster claw, there is no substitute.

Blue on the 7″ model and black on the Shorty, the marine plastic faceted handle is unbreakable, sized for a sure grip, and won’t roll off decks or countertops. Shipmate Pick/Probes are compact and easily fit into small toolboxes. With the Mounting Clip, they can be placed where they’re ready at a moment’s notice.

An anchoring system has two parts: the anchor itself and the rode which connects the anchor to the boat. To be effective, an anchor must have good holding power, and the rode must be strong enough to withstand the strains that are put on it.
