Abstract: A power ice screw system including an ice screw and screw adapter configured to engage the ice screw, thus enabling use of a power drill to install the ice screw in an ice feature, is described. The ice screw includes a drive head configured to engage the screw adapter. The screw adapter includes clearing ports that enable the adapter to expel ice that enters the adapter from within the ice screw hollow core. The ice screw core extends through the drive head to permit ice to flow through the ice screw and into the adapter. A cutting member resides within the screw adapter, typically disposed between two clearing ports. The cutting member can be flanked by two flanges configured to direct ice that has been disrupted by the cutting member outwardly through the clearing ports. The power drill is typically a lightweight battery powered electric drill.

Abstract: The Fiorello Insert is made of a material similar to cratex rubber, and will be used to deburr machined parts while still in the machining cycle. It can also be used to open a bored hole a few tenths of a part or to take off a few tenths of the outside dimension of a part without changing it's contour or shape. It can also be used on reworked parts. The softness and slight abrasiveness of the insert is the key. It's not hard like the inserts used to cut, turn, or shape metal. It's more flexible like a piece of rubberized sandpaper being held in your hand that only follows the shape of the material being worked on. This insert will be made to the size and shapes of most standard inserts on the market now, thus eliminating costly tooling needed to be purchased to run this splendid insert. Its shape will be similar to the inserts being used now. Under certain conditions using the smaller Fiorello Inserts, a washer may be used for additional reinforcement when attaching the Fiorello Insert to the tool holder.
