A  little history - when this product first came out, it WAS called an ice
axe. There was so much flack thrown about on the web by both backpackers and
climbers. I'm sure that had a lot to do with changing the name. It's no
longer an "ice axe", it's a "potty trowel." Some of us have no qualms using
this "potty trowel" for other purposes. If you don't want to, don't! But
don't whine about it not being certified and therefore not "safe." The only
thing safe it staying at home and watching cable tv shows about backpacking
and climbing. Scratch that, that could lead to a heart attack or death by
boredom.

Too much whining about this could make the product unavailable to those that
want it. Just like too much whining about a trail being unsafe often leads
not to a repair but a closure.
