Tree Climber Set, Includes Cushioned Pads, Straps, Leg Irons, Stirrups, Gaff Hooks KLEIN TOOLS CN1907ARL

Takes a bit to get the hang of using them, but great product, they dig in so no slipping. Biggest obstacle was me.

(EDIT: Replacement screws were sent to me) I was recommended this item by a friend. Going to be cutting down about 13 or so Trees on my property. The only reason I give this a 4 star and not a 5 star is due to missing screws that usually come with this product. They are solid and durable, (having used my friends pair when he was recommending these to me, and he has had them for 3 years now?), and they grip the trees with ease. Again I would recommend these to anyone, only reason I don't give it the 5 star is due to missing items, will update rating once I get a hold of customer support.

The screws to assemble and adjust the upper and lower part are to light and it is very hard to tighten them, otherwise overal quality very good.

By the look of the hardware, these climbers should do the job but so far untried. The screws that attach the extension pieces don't fasten. I called tech support four times over two weeks and was told each time someone would get back to me by end of day. Still waiting.

These are good enough. They aren’t as fancy as some others but they’ll get the job done. I very much disliked the shin pads that these came with and changed those after 1 climb. If I did it again I’d have saved longer and bought another “B” brand’s aluminum tree gaffs. But, with Klein upgraded hyrdacool pads these work well enough and are far more comfortable. I plan to upgrade the foot straps too. Theses are durable but Velcro would be nicer and easier on the ankles. For me, 8” boots are minimum and I try to climb in my 10” tall whites as anything shorter than 8” the straps rub my ankles raw after a few hours spiking around trees.
