Tree Climbing Equipment
Richard Tregoweth, Tuesday, June 16, 2009
Due to popular demand we have added a Climbing Equipment section to the Treetools website. The gear is similar to that used by climbing arborists with the exception of some safety equipment. eg the Petzl Elios helmet is designed for sport tree climbing only NOT tree care work (no facility ..
Felco Hoof Shears
Richard Tregoweth, Sunday, June 14, 2009
Hoof shears are not exactly tree tools but the ARE used for pruning (animal hooves). Since we stock other FELCO pruning tools we get numerous requests for the Felco 50 and 51 models. So, we have decided to include them in the FELCO section but not the general catalogue. ..

Tachyon Splice
Richard Tregoweth, Sunday, June 14, 2009
Drew has completed the first Tachyon splice (after a few blisters). We will test this along with various knots at Standens next week - it seems a shame to deliberately destroy this first splice but sacrifices have to be made. For those of you who want to do your own ..
