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.
