Anyone use the gecko aluminum climbing spikes?

[Lorry thompson]

As title says just wondering how people rate them? We've been on big takedowns all week and are for the rest and got sick of my crappy spikes so ordered some of these from jonsie. Was originally going for the buckinhams but seen these why are they so much cheaper? Maybe should of asked before I ordered them:blushing:

I have got some ali geckos and I love them. Velcro straps so quick and easy to put on and they are very light, can wear them all day in comfort:thumbup:

That's what I wanted to hear cheers mate I'd had the buckinham ones before and loved them (I think they've doubled in price since) but these are a lot cheaper and looked the business. I just hope they turn up before Friday some big oak trees to take down after that it's back to reductions for a month.

agree with tree tomass - So much lighter and more comfortable than my old steel Buckingham spikes.

Such a big difference compared to my old steel twisted bashlins, you won't be disappointed.

I use the carbon fibre ones but I have got the alu ones as well and they are just as good. The carbon ones are not wearing too well and when they are finished with I will go back to the alu ones and stick with them.

Good stuff I'm excited now haha I'm on the twisted steel ones at the minute and think they will be chucked in the rescue kit, I got them given so didn't bother buying some better ones but think I must be getting older now can feel them hurting my legs.

Comfortable, light, haven't slipped off my boot yet!

Mine came with longer gaffs than I would normaly like. Anyone know if you can get smaller one's?

[tommer9]

No need for any other!

That was my next question bumbleb I've seen a set before and thought the spikes looked a liitle long good for ivy covered trees though ha
