Tree climbing spikes are devices used for climbing trees and telephone or power poles. They are attached to climbing boots to allow climbers to grip and dig into the tree trunks and prevent them from falling off. Tree climbing spikes are usually made of stainless steel. They come in different lengths.
Short Tree Climbing Spikes are made of stainless steel around an inch long. They are used for climbing telephone poles and trees with semi-thick barks for installing or repairing television antennas or power lines. They can be used by climbers weighing up to 400 pounds.
Long Tree Climbing Spikes are made of stainless steel around two inches long. They are used for climbing trees with thick barks like fir. They allow the user to trim protruding branches with minimal tree damage. They can be used by climbers weighing up to 400 pounds.
