A revolutionary chest ascender that features two rollers for a smooth interface with the rope. This not only helps with climbing efficiency by making the upward glide much smoother but also reduces dangerous wear and tear on the device where the rope tends to rub on the body of a traditional ascender. The perfectly profiled closure keeps the rope in line with the body of the device and the rollers to prevent the rope from escaping the device during tight pendulums and traverses. Self-cleaning holes on both the body and the cam help prevent the build up of grit and grime. Thicker body plates and a shaped connection point reduce wear on the device caused by shifting between the device and the connector (especially when used with steel connectors). This also keeps the device more in line with the body during use. The opening mechanism is simple and secure with the ability to lock the device open for easier attachment and a removable pull cord that makes it easier to operate while wearing gloves.
NOTE: This configuration is not intended for hauling or securing of bodies.
Fold out road side sign suitable for use on single carriageways where the speed limit is up to 30mph. Alternative sizes available to meet requirements set out in the Code of Practice for Safety at Street Works and Road Works. Supplied to us via the UK’s leading supplier of roll up road signs and they fully conform to Chapter 8 of the traffic signs manual, as laid out in the Department of Transport code of practice.
The one-piece sign is extremely easy to put up and take down in a matter of seconds, even when wearing thick gloves as it involves no parts which are small or fiddly. The system for changing the wording on the legend or variant could not be easier. It uses a system of rust proof poppers which clip easily on and off, meaning one tripod sign can have multiple uses without the inconvenience or the expense of having to hold multiple signs for different tasks. The signs are suitable for use in temperatures ranging from -5c to 30c.
We also hold in stock the 750mm version of this sign which is required by law on roads over 30mph (please refer to department of transport for full details). The 600 or 750mm measurement mentioned refers to the height of the red triangle on the sign, rather than the size of the wording.
The Silky F180 folding pruning saw is a lightweight yet robust entry level folding saw, and is one of our fastest selling saws at Briants. Its design and build is aimed at the domestic end of the market, and will be used predominantly for pruning around the home, garden and other areas. For the home gardener looking for a quality, but cost effective pruning saw, look no further than the Silky F180. The blade itself is 180mm long, impulse hardened, Chrome plated and ‘Mirai-Me’ (terms explained below). It’s blade features 7.5 teeth per 30mm and will lock in two different positions to allow flush cutting. The blade is not suitable for sharpening, however we can supply replacement F180 blades and also keep a range of spare blades and parts for other Silky Saws. To replace the blade it is just one screw which needs to be undone on the handle of the saw. The handle itself has been manufactured from ‘fibreglass polypropylene’ and has a rubber insert and sure grip which reduces the risk of slipping, even in wet conditions or when wearing gloves.
How is this Folding Pruning Saw Made?
The SK-4 carbon steel used to make the blade is laser cut. The teeth, designed with no set, are formed within the width of the blade, reducing friction leading to a much cleaner, smoother and faster cut, compared to the majority of other pruning saws whose teeth may be formed to project outside of the blade width, which leads to far more effort needed from the user to make a cut.
The inside of each tooth has 4 razor sharp cutting angles, which is what Silky’s ‘MIRAI-ME’ term refers to. It essentially means that when the blade cuts through the branch, the amount of splintering is reduced so the cut is much finer, and will destroy up to 50% less cells within the wood, which cuts the risk of disease and means the tree will heal far faster than if it were to be cut with a non MIRAI-ME blade.
Silky also use high-frequency electro-impulse hardening during their manufacturing process, during which the teeth are heated up and hardened off for added strength. In fact, a Silky saw could stay sharp for as much as 3 times longer than a non impulse hardened equivalent. The key to this process is making sure the teeth are the only part of the blade that is ‘impulse hardened’ leaving the main body of the blade to retain it’s flexibility. A chrome plating is added to the blade to protect against rusting and sap adhesion to even further extend the lifespan of the blade.

The pocket boy 130 ‘MIRAI-ME’ from Silky Saws is an incredibly popular folding pruning saw within the Silky range. The smallest saw of the range, it’s non-slip handle is made from rubber and is extremely comfortable as well as easy to hold, even in wet conditions. The mirror polished blade of the handsaw, which is adjustable to lock into 2 different angles is impulse hardened, rust resistant, hard chrome plated and taper ground metal, allowing the user to have absolutely fantastic cutting efficiency at their disposal. It’s razor-sharp teeth (8 per 30mm) make light work of pruning tasks, including small ornamental and fruit trees. It will resist tree resin and clean very easily. It’s small and lightweight nature make it ideal to fit into your pocket or workbag. It’s also a hit with camping enthusiasts due to its size and cutting ability. It comes supplied with a plastic carry case.
A replacement blade is also available to buy from Briants. All Silky saw blades are easily replaceable and other parts may also be available upon request, please get in touch if you can’t find what you’re looking for. The Pocket Boy 170 is also available from us alongside a replacement blade.
Impulse Hardening
The teeth of the Pocket Boy 130 saw blade are heated using a special high frequency heating technique which instantly hardens the metal. Due to the way this technique is performed, it’s only the teeth that are impulse hardened, therefore the rest of the metal on the blade will retain its flexibility. Because of this process the teeth of the saw will stay harder up to 3 times longer than a non-hardened equivalent.
Ergonomically designed handles
Silky handles are all comfortable and non-slip, even in wet conditions and wearing gloves, due to their high-tech rubber compound makeup.
Is there a correct way to use a Pocket Boy 130 Silky Saw?
There certainly is! A Silky blade will only cut on the pull stroke, and they will require very little pressure to cut through wood in an efficient manner. The kerf of blade has been designed in such a way that it will bite and glide though the wood without needing any excessive pressure placed upon it during the cut. Adding extra pressure or wrenching and twisting the saw blade may lead to breakages. We have sold Silky saws at Briants for many years and faults, not down to misuse, are genuinely a very rare occurrence.

The A307 from DMM is the perfect mid-size Offset D for situations where small size and volume are important i.e. confined spaces or tower climbing situations where the overall weight and size of a system is crucial. The Shadow gives plenty of security reserves whilst feeling featherweight on a harness or in a bag.
- The Offset D connector shape takes the optimal loading of a D-shaped connector but with an increased internal volume at one end – the basket. This adds to the positivity in the hand, especially when wearing gloves.
- DMM’s patented ‘Taper-lock’ closing mechanism increases gate push-in and cross gate strength using a special flared profile on the nose of the carabiner, as well as allowing a snag free connection for your ropes, slings and devices.
- Compact, lightweight and ergonomic.
Oversized, yet still ergonomic and user-friendly, the Boa family of connectors are ideally suited to applications where large connector volume and gate are required. The large HMS shape allows for easy rotation of Italian hitches in tension rigging applications and the smooth curved internal form makes rotating the carabiner through attachment eyes simple. The large, curved, pear shape basket works like our DMM Ultra O carabiner when it comes to stacking (i.e. No un-nerving jumping when weight sharing) and the general oversize makes handling simpler when used with gloves.
The Lock-safe version is our most popular connector in tree care applications due to its amazing versatility.
- Approved to EN362:2004/B.
