Chouinard's ice screw ratchets make placing and removing Chouinard ice screws easier than using a hammer to turn the screws. The ratchet first came out in 1983. Chounard introduced a redesiged version in 1984. This had a thicker holding collar and more teeth to the ratchet. Chounard discontinued the ratchet in early 1987.
