I also have a pair of technical DMM fly tools, and a DMM Raptor 60cm straight shaft, classic styled pick. First used this summer in NZ alps. I was very happy with these tools however I also noticed the rubber hand-grip peeling back on the Raptor after plunging into hard snow (nothing some duct tape didn't fix). The thing that continues to attract me to these tools is their solid construction and no-nonsense design. I notice that the same bolt spacing is used on both the Raptor and Fly meaning that you could swap to having a long-shafted tool with a reverse curved pick - possibly the closest thing you'll get to a "general purpose technical tool for steep stuff", if such a thing exists.
