Ha Ha ! I got them very cheap in a job lot of climbing kit,I get on very well with them,they are comfy ,dont rub at all.The ony thing i do find is that they have to be very tight when you put them on as they can slip off the boot sole when manovering in trees(not so good )! Thanks for your reply oldmilltrees but Im really looking for at least one set of good second hands as to buy from across the pond is ridiculous money,but i will check the ads on the right too,cheers

If they have been linesmen's gaffs (most have as the utility companies love them) then they will be short. If you can walk around in them and the tips are off the ground then they are short, if the tips are almost flush with the bottom of the gaffs then they are long. I personally prefer long for tree climbing, but some of my lads prefer short. I'd stick with what you're using if you're happy with them.

As for price, make me an offer. (I don't know for certain if I can find them - I'll have a butchers tomorrow). I do know that they are still in their unopened packaging (shrink-wrapped onto cardboard) - the issue is whether they have gone walkies!

I've found them - they are still packaged and come with new bolts and the torx head allen key tool thing.

 

I bought some second hand ones off here for £25 - you can have these new ones for that (including delivery) if you want them.

 

Cheers
