|  Caddy pads
Have read some interesting posts and watched a video on these pads that look to be a god send! How do they attach to my Buckingham climbers? Other than directly through Wesspurs, anyone know of anywhere in Perth WA to get them? Im loving this site too by the way!  |

most climbers slot right in....Bashlin alu's require some filing of the inner surface of the pads......

Best bet is wesspurs,cheaper,I bought a set of steel buckinghams with caddy pads back in april,best pads i've ever had.If you want i ship saws and gear from the usa to other countries.  Trev mcrev is a gear dealer in oz but not sure if can get them or not.

| Re: Caddy pads
Thanks TreeKiwi! Yep I have some in stock here in Australia for $149.95AUD. They are $72USD at Wesspur. At $0.64AUD(today) to $1.00USD that would cost you $112AUD plus about $50.00-$70AUD Shipping plus about $20.00AUD surcharge on your credit card for international currencies. So expect around $200AUD all up. A few months ago i had these listed for $99.95AUD but the diving dollar forced the increase. Unlike most suppliers, if it recovers i will pass on the savings accordingly. They are designed for buckingham spurs and you can use your existing straps unless you are using a full velcro wrap pad at the moment of course. If you were in the US, then wesspur would be the go, but you're here in Aus, so why not support an Aussie gear supplier and fellow arborist and save $50 to boot  Trev |

Cheers for the responses lads! Yes have seen the video, not bad hey? Trev, I am using full velcro wraps on my buckinghams, so what else do i need to hold the caddy pads in place? Does that price include postage to Perth? Cheers lads, hope I get a similar response to my firewood thread that I posted earlier... |

| Re: Caddy pads
If your going from velcros, then you just need a pair of Nybuck straps as well. As a TreeWorld special, i'll throw you free postage on this one |
