Buckingham steel tree and pole climbers are tried and tested professional tools. With over 100 years experience manufacturing gaffs, they have consistently delivered professional, high-quality climbers. You can rely on a pair of Buckingham spurs season after season. These climbers fit the widest range of pads and straps, and have gaffs that are replaceable and can be sharpened. Buckingham steel climbers are a very popular choice with beginning tree climbers and experienced professionals alike for their affordability, durability, and strength.
In 2011, Buckingham changed their replaceable gaff design to the “dowel & screw” style of gaffs. You’ll find both the new gaff style as well as gaffs for older models on our replacement spur gaffs page.
