Does anyone know of any climbing stands that come with spikes?

Not the summit flat teeth that nearly killed me yesterday.
I have a treewalker that has teeth and will never slip. Unfortunately after 30 years they have closed there business.

I filed my summits down with a grinder. Works fine

Try an API. They don't have spikes, but they fit a tree far better than a summit. I sold my summit, they are only good for the perfect size tree. I didn't feel safe in it comparatively.

API. Those teeth never wear out. You cannot force either part to slide.

My Old Man has some pretty aggressive teeth on it. The older ones suck though. I've used my step-dads from time to time and its pretty old. The teeth on those suck arse and I always feel like I'm going to slide right off the tree. Mine is rock solid.
Edit: Mine is also from prior to them being bought.

I would hate to have a climber and only shoot spikes

I use the API grand slam and I still put a ratchet strap on the top piece around the tree, it never slipped before I started using the strap but I feel better when I use it

Add a $15 set of stabilizer straps from Thirdhand Archery and you’ll feel like the stand is nailed to the tree. They make a tremendous difference. I also added the drag/footrest from Thirdhand and I can sit all day in my Summit. Hardest part is not falling asleep. But I’ll always be attached to the tree via a harness because I’ve read too many posts like yours.

Why a climber?
Lock on with sticks is so much lighter, more versatile, compact, quiet, safer, etc etc
