Treetools has supplied the New Zealand tree care industry for more than 30 years. While our origins lie in silviculture, horticulture, and viticulture, Treetools today operates as a specialist trade shop, focused exclusively on professional arboriculture and technical rope access. Our core business is safety equipment, climbing and rigging systems, and professional-grade pruning and cutting tools designed for intensive, real-world use.

We exist to support people who work in trees and at height for a living. If your day involves climbing, rigging, pruning, or managing trees in demanding environments—whether urban, industrial, or remote—Treetools is built around your needs. Our product selection, pricing structure, and technical support are geared first and foremost to professional users who rely on their equipment every day.

Treetools is owned and operated by the Tregoweth family—Richard, Karen, and Anna—from our trade premises at 8a Kerwyn Ave, East Tamaki, Auckland. Tools run deep in the family: Richard’s grandfather, Richard H. Tregoweth, was a toolsmith by trade, and his advice still underpins how we operate today—buy the best tools you can afford, because quality equipment, properly cared for, performs better, lasts longer, and ultimately costs less in the long run.

That philosophy shapes everything we do. We focus on professional, “man-powered” tools and systems—gear that must be efficient, reliable, safe, and comfortable under constant use. People who climb and rig for a living develop a close relationship with their equipment. Once they find what works for their hands, their systems, and their style, they tend to stick with it for life. Our role is to supply, support, and stand behind that equipment with genuine product knowledge and practical experience.

While the majority of products we supply are designed for professional use, we welcome domestic users and serious enthusiasts who share our respect for high-quality climbing, rigging, pruning, and safety equipment. However, Treetools remains unapologetically trade-focused—our range, pricing, and service model are built around professionals who depend on their gear to earn a living.

Top-quality tools, fair trade pricing, and straightforward, knowledgeable service are what define the Treetools experience. If you value equipment that performs when it matters, and a supplier who understands the realities of working in trees and at height, you’re in the right place.

The majority of products listed on the Treetools website are designed for professional application: high efficiency and production, safety, and reliability under intensive use. But, in many cases, you don't have to be a professional arborist to own or use these tree tools - our customers simply share a passion for superior climbing, rigging, pruning, and safety equipment.
