Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between tree gaffs and pole gaffs?
Tree gaffs are longer (2-3/4") and offset for maximum penetration into tree bark. Pole gaffs are shorter (1-9/16") and designed for climbing wooden utility poles, where a shallower bite is more appropriate and often required by safety standards.
Are the gaffs replaceable?
Yes. The gaffs use TORX bit heads and can be replaced when worn, making this a long-term investment rather than a disposable tool.
How do I size the climbers to my leg?
The leg irons adjust in 1/4" increments across a 15" to 19" range, allowing for a precise fit for most users. Proper fit is critical for safety — the climbers should feel snug without restricting circulation.
