Brands We Back: Gear That’s Proven, Trusted, and Built for the Job

Updated: 4 days ago

In this line of work, there’s no room for gear that quits halfway. Tree work tests everything, from ropes to boots to batteries, and the tools that survive it earn our respect the hard way.


We don’t back brands because they’re popular. We back them because they’ve proven themselves, job after job, under Overberg sun and wind.


This is the kit we trust, the gear that’s been dragged through mud, hauled up canopies, and kept pace with real arborists doing real work.

Clogger


Chainsaw protection that moves with you.


Clogger gear is made for arborists, not adapted for them, and it shows.


Lightweight, breathable, and built for heat, sweat, and full days in harness, their chainsaw protection makes safety feel like second nature.


We’ve worn a lot of chainsaw pants over the years. Nothing feels like Clogger.


Once you go Zero, there’s no going back.

Milwaukee Tool


Nothing but HEAVY DUTY.

Milwaukee tools were built for the trades, and they’ve proved they’re built for tree crews too.


We count on their gear when power, precision, and endurance matter most. Their blowers, drills, and battery systems take daily abuse and still deliver.


Cordless. Relentless. Unstoppable. We bring Milwaukee onto the job site because it’s built for crews like ours.

Husqvarna


Ready when you are.


Husqvarna is a name every arborist knows, and we trust it for a reason.


From chainsaws to pole pruners, their pro range brings the balance, speed, and power you need for technical work and heavy removals.




The machines just feel right, solid, predictable, ready.

Husqvarna doesn’t just make saws. They make our days easier.

Jonsson Workwear


Built to work. Worn with pride.


Out in the field or up in the canopy, Jonsson keeps our crew protected and professional.


Their gear takes a beating and still shows up strong, just like we do.

If you’ve seen a crew in grey, black or green climbing trees in the Overberg, it’s probably us.

Silky Löwe


The hand tools that never let us down.

When we talk clean cuts, we’re talking Silky. These compact Japanese hand saws go through limbs like butter, smooth, fast, and with minimal effort.


For fine pruning, Löwe’s German-engineered anvil pruners bring sharp control and serious bite.


Light in the hand, heavy on performance.

Silky’s our go-to for quick removals. Löwe’s the snip king. Sharp, fast, built for real work.

Stihl


Legendary. Reliable. Essential.

Whether it's a go-to backup saw or a must-have multi-tool, Stihl products are part of our DNA.

Powerful, consistent, and built for tree work.

Under Armour


The gear we move in, climb in, and train in.

Under Armour has been part of our professional kit for years. Lightweight, moisture-wicking, and made to move, UA fits the rhythm of arborist life.

We train like we work. Under Armour helps us show up strong.

Jim Green Footwear


South African boots built to go the distance.

Tough terrain, long hours, unpredictable weather, Jim Green boots were made for this. Designed and handcrafted in SA, they’ve become a staple in our crew for their comfort, durability, and no-nonsense reliability.

We’ve worn a lot of boots. Jim Green stays on our feet, and in our gear list, for a reason.




Why We Back What Works

Every brand here earns its place. They are gear and tools we trust, wear, and rely on to keep our work clean, safe, and professional.


We use them because they do what they’re supposed to, quietly, consistently, without fuss. That’s what matters in this trade.


Wanna Team Up?

If your brand is built for arborists, and you’re looking to connect with a crew that actually tests gear in the field, let’s talk.


We back what works, gear that’s proven, trusted, and built for the job. The rest? It stays on the shelf.
