Double Exposure!

Check out our brand-new R3104 REVERSIBLE CAMO TOQUE.  This much anticipated toque is now finally in stock and available for purchase on HDG.  With blaze orange on one side and hunting camouflage on the other, this warm toque is perfect for hunting, working, or just hanging around.  This toque is long enough that you can pull it down over your ears for those days when the wind really picks up.

R3103 Canada Toque

Of course, if hunting is not quite your thing, we have added five (5) new toques for this winter - the most popular so far has been a tie between the R3094, which has the CATERPILLAR wordmark knit all the way around the toque and the R3103 Canada Toque, which has a tighter weave and fits more snugly - actually it fits perfectly underneath a hard hat of you are on a job site.

R3094 Caterpillar Branded Toque

The R3094 is made from 100% acrylic, so it is soft and not scratchy on your fivehead (you know what it is if you have one!).  It also features a knit-in graphic and a logo label on the back.  So many toques, so many choices... we currently have 15 different toques to choose from on Heavy Duty Gear.  

R3060 Basic Black Toque

Hmmmm, just noticed that both of our most popular new toques are grey... wonder if that is supposed to mean something or are we just colour blind...?  While the new grey toques are popular, they have a LONG way to go before they can hold a candle to the popularity of the R3060 Basic Black Toque - it is our number one selling toque.  Traditional rolled cuff with an embroidered Cat design mark - also hard to beat the price when it retails for $5.99!

So I guess it is safe to say that when it comes to keeping your noggin warm this winter, "We've got you covered".

Global Scale Model Shortage

SCALE MODEL INVENTORY WARNING: The primary manufacturer of licensed Caterpillar scale models has been experiencing problems within its supply chain, which has affected deliveries which normally would have replenished us for the holiday season.  All of the scale models shown on HDG are in stock and have an inventory module that shows you how many are remaining in stock.  This inventory is updated in real time.

New stock is not expected before January 2012, and we will advise of any further information as soon as it becomes available.

Santa's Little Helper - saving you stress & money

We know that everyone has WAY too much going on in their lives and that shopping for Christmas is an added stress!  The number five tip from the Mayo Clinic on reducing holiday stress is to stick to your budget, so your friendly HDG staff have come up with holiday lists to help you find the perfect item for your favourite Caterpillar fan!

There is a list for Him, for Her, and for Future Operators.  Each list has four categories to help you find something within your budget: Under $25, $25 - $50, $50 - $100, and finally "over $100".  We made sure that the lists had a good mix of new merchandise and classics on each one.  There are hats, cool stuff, clothing, and of course gift certificates (in case you really can't decide)!

Keep in mind that all orders over $75.00 ship for FREE within Canada and that all Finning employees enjoy free shipping to their branch, no matter the size of the order.

Another tip to keep in mind is that there is a sizing chart designed for each individual clothing item, so make sure that you verify the size of clothing before ordering.  While you can always exchange an item if it doesn't fit, why risk someone being disappointed on Christmas morning?

Finally, a perfect gift that will literally last all year and won't break the bank is our R4247 Caterpillar 2012 Calendar. It features a different machine for each month and details the specifications for each different machine, and the applications for each one. Retails for only $19.99. Quantities are limited so get yours soon!
