Arbsession

[flushcut]

So I placed an order with them for a comm unit before my big crane gig two weeks ago. The transaction was smooth as glass and they were very polite and professional. They even took the time to walk me through pairing all my comms.
It was a great experience actually talking to a tree gear company that knows WTF they are doing. I will be ordering from them again.

Probably lightning quick shipping for you too. Are you close enough to stop in in-person?

 

[vharrison]

Thanks for the heads up, never heard of them before.

They are close but it’s like six hours round trip.

I’ve bought from Arbsession! I like the folks there.

 

[Brocky]

They are similar to the previous TreeStuff, before Luke sold it. Their splicing and testing team are first rate.

 

[flushcut]

They took that business mod and ran with it. So I’m bring them some attention here.

 

[Jonny]

Yea, their reputation is good, and they’ll break test your splices and sewing work.

Did I hear that they’ll splice rope that you send them? Used rope or whatever? Poor guy would probably quit after a bunch of used 16 strand jobs.

 

[Eric H-L]

I get it why a splicing service would specify new rope only. Used rope is difficult and you can’t predict the strength of the splice.

Arbsession is legit!

I spliced an old double braid climb line. I had a real hard time to just pull out the core. The fibers become so intricated by the micro back and forth movements and the associated friction that it's like they are glued together. They aren't melted at all, they come apart easily when you obtain some play in the system.

Had a really good experience with arbsession as well. Dare I say what tree stuff used to be like...

Good info re arbsession.

What comms did you get

I had two Sena 10r’s from a treestuff flash sale that I put in Vertex vents and wanted a unit for the crane operator without the helmet. Because last time he kept hitting the button so I got him an ear muff unit but it is an updated version of the 10r’s and compatible with the older units. Cheaper than treestuff/Sherrill. Alto I paid for two day shipping it came in one but they are close to me. I can’t say enough good, just a real nice easy transaction with prompt follow up on phone calls. Like fifteen minutes after leaving a message not days and days from some other vendors.

I’ve heard good things about them just haven’t bought from them. We stick with our local guy for the most part. And then TS or wesspur. The local guy can’t keep the inventory so I have to order well in advance. If I need something in a hurry from him I’m SOL.

 

[flushcut]

I am all for shopping local and helping out other small businesses. But Arbsession may be able to help you out, worth checking out.

 

[FJR]

Arbsession really is like the old Tree Stuff. I cant not say enough good things about them.

 

[Djax]

Arbsession is legit.
Between my local, Gap Arborist and Arbsession I’ve got my bases covered.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Ok, now I want my ropes labeled

 

[flushcut]

Apparently that’s only for Treebilly.

 

[treebilly]

 

[flushcut]

It says so on your ropes.

 

[Mesquite]

Im definitely going to try arbsession on my next order. Shirrelltree has lied to me for the last time! I order stuff that they say is in stock and it doesn't ship with the initial orders then a week later I write them an email and they say is processing in the warehouse and then a week later it's still not shipped. This isn't the first time that this has happened either

Hijacking the thread a bit, but in the name of sherrill alternatives. Just found out About the rope guru Rope for Sale - Rope Splicing - The Rope Guru LLC - https://theropeguru.com/

Run By Jamie, former head of Yale rope's arborist division. Has some heavy rigging stuff and some Alt colors of yale 11.7. Haven't visited or ordered yet but worth A look

$.78 a foot for 1/2” double esterlon isn’t a bad price!
