2 Sets of LIGHTLY used Bashlin Aluminum pole gaffs

[Raven27]

I have 2 sets of gaffs that were used for about a month in training for telephone workers ( I have a buddy who gave me 3 sets and thought I could use them ) they are in excellent shape, but have pole spikes on them. I kept one set, selling these other 2 as I now have 3 sets of gaffs for myself. One pair does say training on them in marker at the top of the pads. Unsure of value on these, see them from $380-$450, seems a lot to me for such a basic setup. I doubt one person wants both sets, but that would be nice.
$165 a set, shipped to lower 48, hope that sounds fair.

Nice deal for someone. Buy both, set one up with tree spikes, both up with Alco pads (Caddy.) Climb all take downs equally comfortably.

I hope so, I sort of felt I was going to cheap, but don't want to rip anyone off either. Lol

I bought one set here for $100 that was essentially new. That was cheap probably.

Willing seller/willing buyer. Yours seem like a nice deal for nice gear to me. (T pads are usless as far as I can tell to a serious tree person.) If you send those together maybe ask buyer if you can pull them off if it helps to get two sets in a flat rate USPS box.

I’d buy but I already own 4 sets of bashlins. I’m still using my 22 year old pair daily. Two of my sets are unused

Are they straight shank or curved for right and left like Buckingham's? Bashlins made them both ways.

 

[Merle Nelson]

Did they? That is interesting.

I'll take a pair, need a set in the rescue bucket

@evo , I'll message you

I would be interested in the other pair if you still have them!

 

[Raven27]

Both sold pending second payment thanks all, using funds to buy proper climbing boots

 

[evo]

Funds have been sent! As I mentioned in the PM I'm in no rush, so if it saves you time or a trip it wont bother me if you wait for the $ from the other pair to go through. That way you can just send them off at the same time.

Lol. I just left Post office from sending a set lol. Cost more than I thought to mail, but it will still help the climbing boot fund. I'll head back out

@evo need your address, unless I can get it off PayPal

What are “Caddy pads”? I keep hearing people say that but I’ve never seen them

These Opsal (not Alcoa) cast aluminum pads have been marketed with verbiage that they didn't fit Bashlin climbers for years. When in fact they at best took a little saw file work to knock off some burs to make them fit - for the curving shank Bashlin climbers. However the straight shanked Bashlin climbers (which don't fit me well as they contact my ankle bone) have a thicker shank and are indeed not a workable fit for this pad - in my opinion.
