 Arborists know all there is to know about trees, which is why when you enlist their tree care services, they always show up ready and up to the challenge. These tree doctors \u2014 like medical doctors \u2014 have tools that they use to assess the health of your trees. <\/p>\n

 From tree pruning to tree removal, arborists have tools for every scenario. As an arborist in Parkland County<\/a>, Chipps Tree Care understands the importance of coming prepared with all tools necessary to serve your tree-related needs. <\/p>\n

 These are the items you will likely see in the toolbelt or toolbox of an arborist: <\/p>\n

Chainsaw<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 
\n A chainsaw can be used to prune a tree, take it down, or cut off dead limbs. While chainsaws are an incredibly useful tool, they are also to be used with caution. Arborists go through training to use the variety of tools they use on a regular basis. 
\n <\/p>\n

Hand Saw<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 
\n Like a chainsaw, arborists can utilize a hand saw for pruning or removing smaller trees. These are compact and good for precise pruning work.

Wood Chipper<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 
\n It may not fit into a toolbox, but a woodchipper is a key tool for arborists. A wood chipper is a machine that ensures a quick and efficient clean up after any tree service as it can crush wood into sawdust. <\/p>\n

Gloves<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 
\nAn arborist\u2019s work is labour intensive and can be tough on one\u2019s hands, so it\u2019s key to have a thick pair of gloves that allow for precise work but are also protective.  
\n <\/p>\n

Eye Protection<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 
\n Whether an arborist is climbing a tree or removing it, they will need eye protection. Parts of trees can fly off and come into contact with the arborist\u2019s eye, which can result in damage like infection or impaired sight. <\/p>\n

 Health & Safety Toronto have outlined in their arborist industry safe work practices<\/a> that eyewear protection must meet code standards. <\/p>\n
