Tree Hog Replacement Gaffs for Aluminum Climbers

These Tree Hog replacement gaffs fit Tree Hog aluminum climbers, letting you replace worn, chipped or bent gaffs without replacing the whole spur. A fresh pair restores the bite you need on thick-barked removals.

Keep lightweight spurs biting

Aluminum shanks save weight, but the gaffs are still steel and still wear. When they are short, chipped or bent, swap them. Confirm the gaff matches your Tree Hog model before ordering.

Other spur parts are in replacement gaffs and parts.

Gaffs wear faster than most people expect. Each sharpening takes a bit of length, and hidden hardware or grit in the bark can chip a point in one step. Once a gaff no longer matches the gauge, it is done.

Replace both gaffs together so the bite stays even from foot to foot.

Fit, sharpen, inspect

Fit the gaffs with the correct hardware and tighten fully. Sharpen with a file only, checking the profile as you go, and retire gaffs that are worn short.

Inspect gaffs, straps and pads before each climb. Use spurs only on removals, always with a lanyard or flipline, and follow the manufacturer's instructions and ANSI Z133.

Spur parts are cheap next to a fall or a lost day. Keep a small kit in the climbing bag with a file, a gauge, spare screws and a strap, so a worn part gets swapped at the truck instead of nursed through the rest of the job.

When you order parts, note your climber brand, model and roughly when you bought it. Makers revise designs over the years, and that detail is the fastest way to be sure the replacement matches what is on your spurs.
