Distel Replacement Gaffs / Spikes

Distel Replacement Gaffs / Spikes are designed to restore the performance of your climbing spurs when the original gaffs become worn or damaged. Manufactured to fit Distel climbing irons, these replacement spikes provide dependable penetration and secure positioning when working on a wide variety of tree species.

Choose the right gaff for the job

Different bark types require different spike profiles. Distel replacement gaffs are available in three styles, allowing climbers to select the most suitable option depending on the tree type and working conditions.

Short / Pole Gaff

The short gaff is ideal for thin-barked trees and pole work. Its sharp profile allows it to penetrate hard or dry wood easily, making it a dependable choice when working on smoother bark surfaces.

Medium Gaff

The medium gaff provides a balanced option between the short and long designs. Its blunter crowned shape and wider underside help reduce excessive sinking into the wood when standing in position for longer periods, while also making it easier to remove the gaff from the tree.

Long / Tree Gaff

The long gaff is designed for trees with thicker bark. The increased length allows the spike to reach through the bark layer and achieve a firm and secure grip within the wood.
