Used to check electrical current safely—no cutting wires or shutting off circuits.

Vital for troubleshooting and maintenance.

Work gloves (protective yet flexible)

Harnesses (for rooftop/lift work)

Roofing shoes (with replaceable pads)

Reflective vests (for busy areas)

Bonus: Anti-slip roofing pants and steep assist tools

Ensure every crew vehicle has a stocked kit, and all team members have basic first aid training to respond quickly to minor injuries or emergencies.

Never work alone from a ladder or roof. A partner helps install faster and boosts safety by acting as a spotter.

Use an extendable painting pole with a hook to wrap trees and reach high spots without climbing—safer and more efficient for large-scale or tricky installs. For extra reach and comfort, consider a lightweight carbon fibre telescopic pole.

For heavy décor (like curtain lights or big ornaments), use galvanized aircraft cable and self-locking clutches. Always check their load ratings.

Choose UV-stabilized plastic clips that match the building color for a discreet look. Magnetic and multi-clips are great for various surfaces.

Stock up in different sizes and colors—essential for securing lights and organizing bundles.

Helpful for securing coiled light strings and color-coding sections, especially in large tree installations.

Use a wire staple gun with insulated staples to avoid damaging light wires.

Pick quality wire cutters with insulated handles and a spring opening.

Keep them sharp for clean cuts, reducing the risk of shorts.

Avoid multi-purpose tools; dedicated cutters perform better.

Use multi-position ladders, but choose lengths and styles based on each property.

Invest in high-quality aluminum extension ladders (18' and 32'), plus step and orchard ladders as needed.

If a task seems risky, use a lift or consider turning down the job.

These prevent gutter damage and stabilize your ladder with a wider contact point.

A must-have for stabilizing your ladder on uneven ground like garden beds or sloped pavement

Big Star Lights’ wedge also doubles as a stand-off, tool carrier, and leveller for tricky roof or stair setups.

Handy for large or high jobs, but rental is usually sufficient for most. Buy only if you use them frequently.

Always follow local WorkSafe rules. Use harnesses and anchor points wherever there’s fall risk. Never accept jobs that look “sketchy”—prioritize safety.

Label totes for storing lights, tools, and hardware. Drill holes for ventilation to prevent condensation and corrosion.

Equip crews with tablets for job photos, maps, schedules, and communication. Digital tools help record setups and make removals easier.
