I've got a pair of 12 point articulated crampons - great when it gets really tough but overkill for wandering about the town! I actually wore them last winter on 4th Jan when I went up Tinto (our local hill) in brilliant conditions on 4th Jan this year. My parents have got some of those few point inset crampons and used them to great effect last winter - their drive is long and steep and was v icy last winter!
