Tree hog spikes

[Matt McAulay]

Don't if anyone has these, picked mine up yesterday found them comfortable spikes maybe a little longer than I'm used to, BUT and this is a BIG but, the straps are held together by rivets if you own a pair BEWARE the rivets come apart very very easily. This is my opinion but DO NOT USE THESE SPIKES!!!!! There is a design flaw

Must be a flaw in your pair Matt, we have sold quite a number already and not had one comeback. Check with your supplier I'm sure they will help you out.

I took them straight back, I watched as he had a play the pop rivets come apart with ease, that much ease not only was he shocked he took a pair out the shop off the shelf and they were just as bad can't tell me that's a flaw with 2 pairs and rivets shouldn't come apart that easy by hand my old bashlins have had it real hard over the years and no rivets ever went.

I was working with someone the other day who had a new pair, and they were also falling apart, and they also had trouble changing the spikes.

I got them because the spikes are changeable that and the bashs are getting a bit on now sort of being held together by cable ties, the tree hogs were comfy but I don't expect a new pair of gaffs main components to fail first job that ain't on

Don't sweat it Matt. They are not fit for purpose therefore you are entitled to a full refund.

I got it all sorted yesterday, I just wanted to let people know what happened if someone got hurt using them and I hadn't said anything I'd feel guilty for having done nothing.

Just been given a new set of spikes by tree hog/arbortec got an apology and the rep Garth came out of his to come say hi and have a quick chat about the spikes, (that's what I call awesome customer service!) I gave them a dam good pull about and no probs be giving them a dam good test soon so standby for good ol review.

We do take safety issues very seriously, and there was a potential safety hazard with the leather straps on a number of the Treehog Climbing Spikes. It appears some of these straps have come off the production line without being sufficiently tightened and are potentially dangerous. These have a specific rivet setup that can be seen in the safety announcement below.
