Cool. I don't really see myself using it as I have no real problem doing a full day in spurs with the kit that I got, but I didn't even know this product existed, so thanks for sharing. 😊👍
This looks great. Will look into getting some. Hopefully means you can keep using your favorite climbing boots and not worry about foot pain on those big removal days.
They are heavy and expensive, (155-175$) and I cut an inch off the front part, because your foot gets no grip on a branch, then I cut another inch off the front, and it was not much better. I threw them away, and would not buy another pair. They do work, if you are only on a trunk section for hours. In certain applications they are great, they do take getting used to though
The camera work wasn’t up to your usual standard on this video Dan. Didn’t see that much of the business (plate) end, which was main subject of the piece. But thanx for the video anyway. Bernie SW Wales UK. 👍
Has anybody heard of/tried Hurse Irons? I wanted to try em for years before they went out of business it seems but they looked absolutely perfect to push spurs to a whole new level
Nice video Dan! One day someone will make a video about the most crucial part of climbing spurs, irons hooks what ever you want to call them to me the most important part is the spur it's self you can have comfort but If the spur is so short it cuts out unless you twist your foot to a funky angle that destroys your knees over time or have distel american long type which are crap on anything other than thick soft bark trees IMO so I use 63mm bashlin spurs they work well on everything almost never cut out don't have to destroy your knees and they fit bashlin copys like tree hog just need different bolts. Also I never wear spurs on the ground just like you wouldn't use your chainsaw in the ground. 🙂
So I climb wood pole and my biggest problem is my legs going numb after being up there for a while, will these help with that?literally my legs going numb is the worst part of the job and they go numb almost every time I’m working on pole.
Good review. Don't think they're for me. The extra weight alone is a negative. I'm thinking maneuverability of your foot about the tree may be a hindrance. Thanks for the review though.
I am a lineman, I had insane arch pain till I got these. I ran them for about 3 years before ditching them because i was spending less time in my hooks, but when I did they made climbing on the souls impossible and would get communication wires stuck in them all the time when transferring over them. I have since just switched to arb pro boots and never looked back and never got arch pain again. Respectfully I think a good sturdy pair of boots “not lineman boot” will be the best thing
meh =-/ I can't see it being much of an improvement over a boot with a steel shank instep and fairly rigid sole. ...and with the weight penalty on your feet over the period of a long day in the climbers, it would seem to be a push to me. Plus, there's the $135 to $177 outlay of cash to factor in. If I had the opportunity, I'd give them a test drive though.
You barely focused on the foot plate during this video with your camera. Just constructive videography criticism. 😢 I love those plates, though. Obvious and great concept.

Hey guys thanks for the video but I watched the whole thing and not once did you actually show the product or how it attaches

So did I... toss them

Agreed

Are those not the hybrid alloy buckinham spurs wich are mixed with alloys
I have always thought of putting a plate in the boot, like Matt Hoffman did back in the day at the xgames
Was reading the comments about adding weight, could a fiberglass help?
Buddy casually rocking the bucklite titaniums 😅

It’s not the hook it’s your belt I’ve been a lineman for 28 years climb lots of poles
@@robertgray2849 yea I figured out that the belt was to tight around my hips causing my legs to go numb, it has gotten a lot better since sizing up
Perfect for my flip flops.

And have slightly shorter hybrid gaff .if not mistaken those he has

Hopefully this review is good. I need something like this bad.
Why have I only just seen this after 18 years 😂
I've only ever seen pole line folks run them
They've been around forever.
I'm a climber in England and I've never saw them until today! A sheltered life lol 😆

I made me some with a welder
👍
I need it urgently 🎉
