Product information & specifications
Panther Replacement Gaffs with Screws - Genuine Spare Parts for Panther Climbing Spikes
Panther Replacement Gaffs with Screws are genuine OEM spare parts for Panther climbing spikes, designed to restore safe and reliable gaff performance on worn or damaged Panther spurs. Each gaff is cast from alloy steel (Cr, Ni, Mo), heat-treated and tempered to 1000–1200 MPa for exceptional hardness and resistance to deformation under load. With a 30° grinding angle from the perpendicular — the same geometry as the factory-fitted original — they deliver consistent penetration into bark and wood during ascent. Fitting uses two M8 screws torqued to 25 N/m, with thread adhesive applied to prevent spontaneous loosening during climbing use. Includes the necessary M8 screws for a complete replacement without sourcing additional hardware. In stock at Gustharts, an authorised UK supplier with fast delivery.
Panther has been handcrafting professional climbing spikes in the Czech Republic since 1991. All Panther gaff components are tested by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague — gaffs show no significant deformation up to 650 kg load, and no breakage up to 1,000 kg.
⚠ These gaffs are a safety-critical component of life-support climbing equipment. They must only be fitted to compatible Panther spike models, installed to the correct torque specification, and inspected before each use. If you are unsure of compatibility, contact Gustharts before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine Panther OEM replacement gaffs — same alloy steel specification as factory-fitted original; precise dimensional match to Panther spike fixing geometry
- Alloy steel (Cr, Ni, Mo), 1000–1200 MPa — heat-treated and tempered for maximum hardness, penetration power and resistance to deformation under climbing load
- 30° grinding angle — factory geometry maintained for consistent bite into bark during ascent; re-sharpenable to the same angle to restore performance
- M8 screws included — fitted at 25 N/m torque with thread adhesive; all necessary hardware supplied for a complete replacement
- Short and Long gaff profile for compatible Panther spike models
- Tested to 650 kg without deformation — independently verified by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague
- Straightforward installation — tool-free gaff removal; screws torqued with a standard M8 hex key

Important Use Guidance
Life-safety component — inspect before every climb. Gaffs are a primary load-bearing element of climbing spike equipment. Inspect the gaff tip sharpness, body for cracks or deformation, and screw seating before each use. A damaged or blunt gaff must be replaced before climbing.
Install to the correct torque. M8 screws must be tightened to 25 N/m. Under-torqued screws can work loose during climbing; over-torquing risks thread damage. Apply thread adhesive to the screws before fitting. If your spike spanner does not allow you to verify torque, have a qualified person or authorised dealer carry out the installation.
Match to your spike model before ordering. Panther produces short and long gaff variants for different spike models and climbing applications. Fitting the wrong gaff length affects climbing geometry and may not seat correctly. Check your spike model and existing gaff length before purchasing — contact Gustharts if you need confirmation.
Keep gaffs sharp. A blunt gaff requires significantly more effort to penetrate bark and can skid under load. Sharpen to the 30° factory angle using a gaff file and maintain this between climbing sessions.
Also Known As
Panther replacement gaffs are also referred to as climbing spurs, spike points, climbing spike gaffs, replacement spike tips, arborist gaff spikes and tree climbing gaff replacements. In trade and professional contexts they may be called climbing spike tips or spur points. For correct ordering, specify Panther replacement gaffs and confirm short or long gaff type against your existing spike model.
Often Replaced Alongside
- Panther Climbing Spikes — the complete aluminium or carbon fibre spike sets these gaffs are designed for
- Gaff file and sharpening kit — maintain the 30° grinding angle between replacements to extend gaff service life
- Climbing Harness and PPE — complete your safety equipment alongside spike maintenance

FAQs
Which Panther spike models are these gaffs compatible with?
These gaffs are genuine Panther OEM parts for compatible Panther aluminium and carbon fibre climbing spikes. Confirm your exact spike model before ordering — contact Gustharts if you need help matching the correct gaff type to your spikes.
What is the correct installation torque for Panther replacement gaffs?
M8 screws must be torqued to 25 N/m with thread adhesive applied to prevent spontaneous loosening during use. Do not rely on feel — use a torque wrench or have installation carried out by a qualified person.
What material are Panther gaffs made from?
Alloy steel containing chromium, nickel and molybdenum (Cr, Ni, Mo), heat-treated and tempered to 1000–1200 MPa. This hardness provides exceptional penetration and resistance to deformation under climbing load.
How do I know when to replace my climbing gaffs?
Replace if the tip is blunt and cannot be resharpened to the 30° factory angle, if the body shows cracking or permanent deformation, or if screws are stripped or will not hold torque. Inspect before every climbing session.
Do I need to buy screws separately?
No. The M8 screws needed for installation are included in the pack — no additional hardware required.
