They work great ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality gaff guards *by M***E on March 15, 2020* Was just what I was expecting, maybe even a bit better. Built very well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ NOT FOR TREE GAFF’S *by D***N on May 17, 2025* DO NOT FIT TREE GAFF’S! They don’t fit longer gaffs, they won’t clip on properly, the gaff point extends out the bottom. They’re ok for storage and transport but just get in the way otherwise and the points of my gaffs get damaged while walking around anyway. Otherwise the quality is typical Klein. Well made and robust.
