Wow, best ice breaker I've found
Barfly M37062 Ice Pick Chipper. It's more like an "ice fork". I have a few other ice chippers: an ice pick, an ice hammer, and an ice tapper. This is the only one that really works. I used an ice tapper for years and it did a good job until the metal ball broke off, then an ice hammer that just made a mess, and an ice pick that is just plain dangerous and not very effective, especially when it goes straight through the ice and into the table...This one breaks up clunks much better without ice flying everywhere, you don't need to hit the ice as hard, just a bit more strategically. You can still hit the ice with so much force that it shatters the ice and keeps going through the bag or to the table, but nowhere near as bad as an ice pick. I've only used it on frozen bags of store-bought ice cubes, not on a big block of ice, but there is a metal cap on the handle so you could pound it with a hammer if necessary.

Useful and delightful
Gets the job done. I crush a lot of ice at parties and constantly get compliments on this ice mallet. Something about a big wooden mallet delights people.

Works well and fun to crush the ice, total stress reliever!
The crushed ice keeps the drinks soooooo cold which I love!

Good value but kinda thin
These ice bucket tongs are a good value but they feel a bit thin in my hands. When they arrived, the teeth did not line up on the two sides because it was bent a bit. I was able to very easily bend it back to line up the teeth. They work well to pick up the ice. I made a video to show you.I write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases because I read reviews myself and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope that my review helped you.

This thing is great!
It's more than an ice pick. It's a conversation piece. It's an ice carving knife. It's a knife for cutting garnishes. There's nothing it can't do. This bad boy has held an edge like a champ and hasn't let me down yet. My only complaint, and it's more of a preference, is the unfinished wood handle. As you know, handling ice means water and water is rough on untreated wood. After a while the texture of the handle just became unpleasant. However, the handle never lessened in sturdiness or quality. I lathered it up in some linseed oil and it pretty much resolved the issue. You will find the same issue with the sheath, but it's much less of an issue.

It’s aight...
When it works, it works very well! I tend to use large ice blocks and this helps reshape big cubes into smaller pieces if they can’t fit in a glass. Also great for drinks that call for cracked ice. Works way better than just a barspoon because it’s bendy and really snaps into the ice. Like other users reported, mine broke the first time I used it. One of the little metal disks popped right out, but it goes back in pretty easily. It happens pretty much every time I use it. Definitely frustrating, but not too bad if you are just making a couple drinks in a session. If you plan on any sort of heavy volume of drinks — party, bars, event, — this ain’t the thing for you.
