Nice job,

I am amazed at the amount of people that wear wife beaters on hot days.

Tell us more about the spikes please

Tell us more about the spikes please

 

I gotta wild hair bouta a year or two ago bout gaffin out at acute angles, and started messin round with circular gaff points rather than triangular points.

 

Then I realized that an extremely sharp pointed inner 3/8ths needle round gaff could be made extendable and retractable for superior hardwood penetration.

 

IME over the last Four decades in this industry, other climbers abilities to sharpen a saw correctly, much less their gaffs, is unusual, and the sure mark of a pro.

 

I'll start a new thread soon on my Inoculator gaffs soon, and go into detail about why they are the cat's meow, aside from their inner needles being essentially long grade 8 aircraft bolts, replaceable for about 7-8 bucks apiece!

 

Just cut the heads off, stick em in a jig, grind them needle sharp, thread em into the hammer slide, lock em at the right depth with a locknut, and you're good to go. Using two sets of needles allows you to keep freshly sharpened sets on hand at all times, and up to 3/4's of an inch of wear length, before dishin out another sixteen bucks for new needle sets!

 

My apologies for postin my stuff in the today's job thread, but I am indeed off to test my funky gaffs in the field again today. They are one and three quarters retracted, and two and a quarter long fully extended.

 

Work safe today lads!

What were you try not to damage there? Looks like an easy fell, or at the worst take a couple of fence rails out.
