Bolt on Gaff Ascender

[shankenstein]

Im having a really hard time finding a bolt on foot ascender for spikes. Something similar to the Buckingham hook and grab. I don't like the CT quick release design because I'd prefer to have the ascender behind the gaff, as opposed to on top of it. Looking to mount on an old set of Kleins.

Thanks!

You just missed a good deal on treestuff. They had a powerscender for kleins at $20 recently, originally $120 if I'm not mistaken. I believe they've all sold out now.

You could look into the kiwi klimbers hardware, but you may have to drill your stirrups...

Try and track down a Powersender. Works flawlessly on my Bucks.

Kiwi klimbers makes one but they’re pretty pricey

Thanks guys!

What’s up with the powerscender? Are they no longer available? @MikePowers321 ?

Looks like arboriststore.com has some R and L Powerscenders in stock. Looks like a great product. @MikePowers321 if you have any personally I’d be happy to get them direct from you.

with info on rivet issues (maybe now in the past?)

My kiwi slips off the rope very easily! Probably going back to CT foot ascender on side of shaft!

Hi my friend : )
Powerscender No longer available in a production version through treestuff, at the moment. I have none in stock to sell directly either. I can still make them the old way by dismantling a CT quick step for people, on occasion. But as you mentioned arboristsite.com or

Any idea how I get a hold of the spring from that ascender?

Email CT and ask them to post you one.
