Duct tape. The perfect solution for everything. It’s the worksite, garden shed, kitchen drawer essential that’s also found its way into every tradies’ first-aid box. Got a problem? Duct tape’ll fix it. It’s an irrefutable Aussie challenge where solutions are limited only by imagination and a ‘she’ll be right’ attitude. But what about when the gash, nick, scrape or ‘ah shit’ moment happens? When ‘she’ll be right’ doesn’t cut it.

Burnt by too many band-aid blow-outs and duct tape disasters causing more trouble than good, Trade’s Aid Bandages was born when we decided time was better spent on anything other than redressing wounds.

You see, we value our trades here down under. No matter the trade - a chippie, brickie, sparkie, plumber or ol’mate up the road getting stuck into it. They’re out there getting their hands dirty for the sake of the rest of us and deserve a little TLC at the end of the day. So we set out with a goal to create a superior duct tape replacement. To stick by our trades when they’re doing it tough.

After a couple of cracks at it, we knew we were on to a good thing. We created a ‘you beaut’ solution that wouldn’t fall off at the first sign of moisture or exertion. A bandage with a purpose. Built for anyone on the tools. Their mums. Their wives. Their kids. And as tribute to all the fallen, failed bandages. ‘Cause we believe a job well done, is a job done well.

That was our first crack, and now the rest is history. You’ll find us in back-pockets, tool belts and glove-boxes across Australia. Ready for whatever your kitchen, workshop or worksite will throw at us. Just chuck on a Trade’s Aid and get on with the job.

Look after yourself will ya’?
