G'day and Ey'Up!

Let me introduce myself, I'm Dion from The Oaks, NSW and  a family of six kids. I love surfing and exploring this awesome continent and world.

I’m a man of many ideas - some good, some not so good and some just wild pipeline dreams.

As a chippy I copped plenty of banter from the lads on a daily basis “have you heard Dion’s latest invention?" I knew I had to get one off the ground so I started out with bespoke furniture and cool cubby houses aka, Kool Kubbies. Heaps of potential but it just wasn’t ticking the boxes.

As us boys know, behind every great man is an even greater woman. When my pommie Beck rocked up, she got me on track and helped get one of my better ideas off the ground.  She set up shop (literally from ground up) and brought to life the Tradies Gear NO BUCKLE Belt - the belt you all now know and love!

Since launching Tradies Gear in 2017, we’ve sold thousands of belts (and proudly covered many butt cracks) right across Australia and more recently in 2024 we launched it in the UK.  We have a warehouse both in AU and UK and ship worldwide from there.

We are both super proud of our belts and finish off every single one off ourselves, with heaps of pride, care and craftsmanship. You’ll find me dipping the ends or whipping up a custom size most nights!

Don’t get me wrong, I love being a carpenter and definitely haven’t hung up the tool belt yet, but right now it’s about getting or NO BUCKLE BELTS out to you guys. Thanks to Beck’s encouragement and support, together, that’s exactly what we’ve done.

But that's not the end of the TG story.  

Our very good mate and bricky, Josh approached us in 2022  with the idea of a MAGNETIC LINE BLOCK.  We worked with him to get his idea off the ground and in late 2023 were very proud to launch MAGSY® Magnetic Line Blocks.

Besides us, our crazy little kelpies keep us busy.  Otherwise we are at home renovating our bush shack in the Illawarra or sneaking off for a cheeky road trip in between sending out our GEAR to you lot, all across the country (and now world) every, single, day.

THANKS VERY MUCH FOR SUPPORTING OUR BUSINESS - today more than ever!
