Ameristep Amsameac0070 Step-Up Tree Step Black Screw In
Getting into a tree stand shouldn't mean struggling up the trunk. The Ameristep Step-Up tree step is a screw-in climbing aid that bridges the gap between ground and platform, making the ascent safer and less exhausting. Whether you're a bowhunter settling in before dawn or a rifle hunter glassing from elevation, this simple tool solves one of the most awkward parts of tree stand hunting. The self-tapping screw design means no tools, no brackets, no fuss—just turn it into any solid tree and you've got a stable foothold.
Built to handle real-world use, the Step-Up delivers a 4-inch step platform with a 750-pound weight capacity, so it won't fail under your boots or your gear. The 2-inch screw anchors deep enough to stay put through season after season, and the black finish keeps it from standing out. Hunters who've ditched rope ladders and struggled with climbing sticks appreciate the directness of a dedicated step—it's one less thing fighting you on the walk in.
Installation is genuinely tool-free: the screw-in point bites into bark and wood without pre-drilling or hardware. Space multiple steps up the trunk to build your own ladder to the stand, or use a couple near ground level where footing is trickiest. At this price point, it's easy to outfit several trees across your hunting property and have spares on hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need tools to install tree steps?
No. The Step-Up uses a self-tapping screw that you turn by hand directly into the tree. There's no drilling, bolting, or hardware involved.
How much weight can this tree step hold?
The Step-Up is rated for a maximum weight capacity of 750 pounds, which covers hunters of all sizes plus your pack and gear.
Can I use multiple steps to build a climbing ladder?
Yes. You can space multiple Step-Up units up the tree trunk to create your own ladder approach to your tree stand. Many hunters use several steps on the climb, especially near ground level where footing is most uncertain.
What kind of trees will the screw work in?
The self-tapping screw is designed to bite into weight-bearing trees. Use it on solid, healthy trees with sufficient diameter to accept the 2-inch screw anchor.
