KLEIN TREE CLIMBER SET

I haven't used any of the crazy expensive spikes. And I don't see it happening any time soon. Everytime I forgot mine I had to use someone else's, they were always uncomfortable. I bought these Klein, and bought the velcro weaver pads for them. N they are great. I absolutely hate when I have to use anything else. Idk if it's cause I learned how to climb with these or what. But to me they are 10x better than the standard Buckinghams. The support is great, comfortable, sturdy, dependable. I love these things. And I recommend them to everyone.

I'm local 17 Line Clearance Trimmer, I've had these gaffs for almost a year now. Everyone else has buckingham's, but these gaffs are just as good as the metal buckingham's, if not better. The gaff itself is a little narrower and I find it grabs in the tree great. I don't have any cons, only pros. Highly recommend!

These are legit best spurs u can get in my opinion durable made to last built to replace ur gaff on them !! And really best price I have ever found I bought them as soon as I found them

I found these to be good and sturdy, but a little wanting on comfort. But at this price point, you don't get a Cadillac. The shin pads I have found to be insufficient. I added a layer of 3/8" thick foam pad (camping sleep mat) to them, and it helped, but they still bruise my shins when I wear them. The extra padding put me in the last hole on the strap; if they were longer I'd add another layer. You should consider this; if you decide to replace the pads with a better set, maybe you would have been better off just buying the better set in the beginning. On the other hand, (foot?), if you don't use gaffs very often, bruises heal and they come with the job anyway. I like that they are very adjustable for length, but I don't like the screws and recessed nuts that come with these. There is no way to hold the nut to get them very tight (only finger pressure), and I have found that they will work loose from wear- so check your screws before you climb ! I seems odd that they go to such lengths to protect you from a tiny nut (or bolt head, if they ran the other direction) in an area where not much pressure gets applied. Anyway, I like them, plan to keep them, don't plan to upgrade soon. I bought mine with tree gaffs, and found them to be perfect on pines, but long for palm trees. I plan to order pole gaff tips for palm tree removals, and set them up according to the job. Overall, very sturdy and confidence- inspiring. They are very sharp, get gaff guards for safety.

Best climbing spikes around. Pros: the offset and replaceable gaffs. Very strong. Cons: buy thicker pads or porter salve lol. They will pain ya a little. But with better pads you cant go wrong.
