Help an arborists wife?

Also I've heard him talk about CE mark, I can see those are made in Germany, will they be ok for working in the uk? He's an employee, not a freelance climber

[Steve Bullman]

Is your husband employed or self employed?

[Steve Bullman]

you just answered me, ignore that not sure about the ce mark

[skyhuck]

No they are not 'top spec'. They are a good solid spike with a proven track record, the design hasn't changed much(if at all) over the years. You are unlikely to get top spec in your budget i'm afraid.

 

If you can squeeze a bit more out of your budget then these would be the best choice

As Steve says these are good, in fact IMO they are the "dogs".

I got him the geckos. He's just sold his drum kit and he's got weekend work this week so I'll squeeze him dry then surprise him with his spikes

 

Thank you for your help guys i may be back nearer to Xmas! He's not a lover of socks as a gift and I have no clue about arb stuff.

 

I emailed fr jones and they confirmed they will be ce marked so there's no problem when it comes to LOLER time. Why is it all so expensive?! He's got a tree motion harness, zigzag2, a gopro, loads of rope which costs more if it's split.... I think he'll have to

Insure all his stuff soon. Or I could murder him and flog it all on eBay

[Steve Bullman]

Well done. He'll be happy with those
