## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sold as a pair
*by S***N on October 20, 2024*

Exactly as advertised. They are sold in pairs not single. So if you buy 1 you will receive 2 of them

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works on bashlan gafs
*by K***N on June 18, 2023*

Very rugged and stay on my bashlans

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. The stars are more a reflection of misinformation than of the product itself
