Well you Northern guys and gals, we got some of your ice down here this morning. A couple of years ago I decided that I was too old to slip down on ice and break something I needed in my body.
Did a Google search and found the YAKTRAX company that manufactures several things, the one I'm writing about is anti slip protection for your shoes. You may already be wearing them but if not for $20 a pair you will be duly impressed.
They fit tightly around the edge of the soul so you have to work them on but they stay put and don't come off in use. I tried several times to deliberately slip on glazed ice and they held every time with no slippage.
I even loaded up my wood cart with about 150# of firewood and pushed it up about a 4% grade of glazed ice, again nar a slip one.
Better than spikes because if you are wearing something with a sole like a sneaker or softer, the coil springs lays flat and push up and into the rubber allowing the sole to contact the floor and keeps you from slipping due to your body weight. I installed mine and walked across the floor to the door and later back and no marks and no slipping on my vinyl floors so you can put them on in the house where your shoes/boots are nice and warm and go right outside and back to take them off.

When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
