    Anyone familiar with Hutch Gaff Guards? I have 2 types and will mail them to you if you're still a working lineman. One type is the model 5, marked at the bottom of the guard. They're for Brooks hooks if anyone still uses Brooks. I did for a number of years. The other type is marked 2 L, which I'm not sure of. Maybe for Kleins, I don't know. If anybody can use either type, PM me your name and address and I'll send you a set. Although different I notice they're marked with the same patent number.

    The co. is in Ann Arbor,Mi. but I think they no longer make them. Anyway if you can use either, let me know. I have a set on my Bashlin Alums and they're marked 2 A, but so sorry have only the one set and they're on my hooks. Best gaff guards ever made.

    Default I figured.

    The many times you guys take off and put on your hooks you'd wear a pair of gaff guards out about ever 3 months.

    Default Hutch guards.

    They're a stainless steel unique devise. Not like those puny little plastic or leather gizmos.

    Default If.

    you think you can use a set, I'll send you some. I know I have those that fit Brooks and the others I'm not sure of. Buckingham or Kleins I'm guessing. I only have the one set that fit Bashlin Alums, and they're on my old pair. Send me your address and I'll mail you a pair if you think you can use. By the way the New Jersey had 16" main battery. Course Swimp wouldn't know if they were 40 MM.

    I use Bashlin Aluminum, and my guards are a pain in the butt. They are leather with the velcro to hold them on. takes forever to get them on and off, and so on.. I would be happy to use yours, and not to mention, I am sure that I can retrofit them if necessary. I have a stainless welder, and stainless wire....

    Let me know..
