What is included with the Klein Tools Pole Climbing Gaffs - 72?

Each pair includes the gaffs, Torx screws, and a wrench for installation.

Can I buy a single gaff?

How much do these gaffs weigh?

Do I need to purchase climbing straps separately?

Yes, these gaffs attach to climbing straps, which are sold separately and not included with this product.

How should I maintain my gaffs?

Clean them with a dry cloth after use, inspect for wear or damage, and store in a dry location. Ensure all hardware remains tight.

Troubleshooting

Gaffs feel unstable on the pole.

Ensure the gaffs are securely attached to your climbing straps and that the straps are adjusted correctly. Verify that the pole diameter is 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) and that the pole surface is free of obstructions.

Torx screws are difficult to tighten.

Ensure you are using the correct Torx size wrench provided. Check the screw threads for debris or damage. Do not overtighten, but ensure they are snug.

Gaffs seem too loose on the pole.

Confirm the pole's diameter is indeed 1-1/2 inches (38 mm). If the pole is slightly smaller, an adapter or different gaff size might be necessary. Ensure the gaff is seated correctly on the pole.
