New (to me) Old Spurs

2dogs · Mar 15, 2011

I just picked up a pair of ancient Klein pole spurs. They are a bit rust but the gaffs are like new. They are a fixed gaff-fixed length spur. There is no adjusting of anything. The only concern I have is the tread is very narrow and I have wide feet (and wide boots). The spurs are short but they are the same length as my regular Bucks when adjusted. I'm looking forward to trying them on thin barked trees like some eucs and Madrone.

Oh and at $9.99 if I don't like them or they don't fit I'm not out much money.

I bought these through ebay but there are often spurs at the local flee market. Keep in mind these are specialty spurs that may or may not work for me. Regular trees spurs will cost alot more.

They sound like they are ex phone co. spurs. My wife has a pair just that. Yes, she used to supervise an outside crew so she went through pole climbing school.
