ICETRED™ Traction Spike
- Spikes look tiny but provide unbelievable traction on ice.
- Tungsten carbide is ten times stronger than rolled steel.
- Spikes work independently.
- Provides outstanding traction on ice and packed snow.
- Also provides traction on concrete and asphalt.
- Tungsten carbide wears longer and holds its ice piercing edge better than steel even as it wears. With longer wear, metal spikes become dull and can create a slip hazard.
- Does not "round off" as it wears and does not become more slippery.
- If caught in a crack or hung up in any way, the button will pull through without tripping the wearer or damaging the rubber.
