From Backcountry.com:
"With input from the world's best climbers, the Fusion underwent almost three years of testing and development before being unleashed to the market. This weapon has already seen more ascents of Musashi than any other tool, helped Ines Papert win the overall Ice World Cup, and allowed her and others to send the world's hardest lines. This tool takes leashless to the next level with its unique geometry and patent-pending grip. With a constant hand-to-pick angle, the Fusion puts an end to dreaded pick-shift when switching from the lower to the upper grip. This grip has an adjustable pommel that fine tunes the grip's length to match hand size for maximum control, and incorporates a curved finger rest to lock the hand into place, minimizing fatigue. The Fusion is designed with an aggressive pick angle to attack overhanging mixed lines while maintaining torsional stability. The Fusion Pick's serrated top bites when stein pulling and has a steep front tooth for hooking. Whether you're looking to climb with more freedom or more performance, the Fusion will shine."

From EMS:
"Engineered for hard mixed climbing, the leashless Fusion Ice Tool by Black Diamond is extremely stable when you're on slopey mixed terrain. Stick and hold the tiniest rock features. Pick included. Compound-bend, high-clearance shaft; 50-cm. length. Patented adjustable grip provides a big hold. Extremely stable pick geometry when changing grips. Thick, serrated pick designed for stein pulls and torquing. For improved performance on pure ice, try Laser Pick and switch Head Blank for a hammer. CEN-T certified. Fusion Pick included."

From REI:
"Curved finger rest on lower grip locks in hand placements and minimizes arm burn. Dual grips let you choke up on the tool for higher placements when every inch counts. Grip geometry keeps the hand-to-pick angle constant, which minimizes pick shift when you switch between upper to lower grip. Optimized grip angles help reduce hand and arm fatigue on long overhangs. Small row of metal teeth under upper finger rest adds traction and protects upper grip when in contact with abrasive rock and ice. The pick's aggressive angle and rounded top penetrate ice and offer mixed route precision better than conventional tools. The pick's serrated top adds friction and bite while "stein pulling"; steep front tooth helps when hooking. Three years of intense research and testing went into refining the Fusion, resulting in superb performance over steep mixed and ice cragging routes. Unique, patent-pending grip lets you add and remove spacers to fine-tune grip height to match your hand and glove size. Unleash from the past and swing freely into the future with Fusion, the Ice World Cup champion's tool of choice on the hardest lines."
