VEVOR Tree Climbing Spike Set Pole Climbing Spurs Steel Adjustable Climber Gaffs

These worked really well for me aside from the cheap buckles. I wanted them on tight so ended up breaking the ankle buckle synching it down right off the bat. So I ordered some solid 1" buckles, a screw in rivet kit and drilled out the old rivets that hold the buckles in place. The leather is real quality leather and has good padding in the "over the shin" area. The spikes never slipped and made me feel I was always solidly on my feet. Spikes seem to be a quality type of steel that never bent after climbing and taking down a dead 65' pine and a smaller live oak. Pretty comfortable. I am ultimately happy with the purchase.

Great for climbing trees

Bought these to saddle hunt. First time to ever use gaffs and I absolutely love them. Very comfy and light weight. I did remove the Velcro and lower leather buckle and replaced with quick release strap/buckles. I needed it to be quiet. That Velcro is super loud. Only and issue if you hunt. In my pic you can see I also added some camo duct tape to reduce contact noise and help them blend a bit. Great gaffs doe a rookie!

These are great! Spent a couple hours in them taking down a few trees, really comfortable and excellent support. They were an extension of my body.

My husband is an arborist and he loves his new tree spikes!

I was going back and forth about getting either the aluminum gaffs or the steel ones. I don't climb super often but still wanted something that was comfortable and going to hold up. I decided on the steel ones and they work great! I don't think they are heavy at all and they work really well!

When adjusted properly for your height, they are very comfortable.

Was using probably a 50 year old set but the leather straps were about to break. Put these on, so much better and comfortable. Made climbing so much more enjoyable. My buddy has the super high end carbon ones of the same brand and he does this stuff for a living. They work.

Edit: I've used them on 10 jobs so far. They exceeded my expectations in every way but one, product material. I would still prefer to have leather straps and something other than Velcro that doesn't play well with Sunlight but they are definitely worth the money and much better than dropping $500 on a set. There are leather straps available if it bugs you like it bugs me.

First time I have ever used these things, but worked out well. Beats paying a tree cutting guy $100 per tree. Quite a workout, especially climbing down.
