ARS ARS-VS-8XZ 8-inch Secateurs with Single Hand Locking Secateurs with Single Hand Locking

Very good and sharp plus easy to handle

Neat and comfortable in the hand and very sharp so pruning cuts are clean

I bought these for my mum, a keen gardener. After using them she said there is no going back to the ones she used bought previously. I know they are expensive, but definitely worth it .

Well balanced and really sharp. Locking is quite stiff and will need more regular use to securing with one hand.

Bought as a gift for a budding gardener.. Top recommendation by Which magazine.

Well made precision cutting Cuts through at least 1 inch branches Easy to use in one hand A gardener recommended these to me as he has had a pair for 7 years and never needed to sharpen

Amazing cutting ability,the locking system is great,lock or unlock with one hand,i have used these for over a year and purchased a second pair as a present to my daughter who is a keen gardener.I used these to help remove 35 feet of pyracantha hedging which i then cut up to burn and they are still sharp,i am right handed and always wear a glove on my left hand for safety reasons,My other well known brand secateurs are nowhere near as good as these.

Well deserved the price tag.. Superbly engineered and constructed. Ergonomics are perfect. A joys to use. They come in different sizes, so make sure you buy one to suit you hand size.

vilken sekatör , woow så lätt den klipper, bra pris

Somewhat of an update now. I’ve been experiencing difficulties with the pruner being somewhat loose. Thought I’d just tighten the screw but that seem to not work. I really could use some advice here because other than this issue I really like these pruners. (Really great pruner, sharp out of the box. The somewhat stiff safety latch, has become easier to disengage with use, while still remaining effective. I have small hands but it fits comfortably in my hand.)

Qualité ARS, coupe parfaitement. Très satisfait de ce sécateur.

Forbici da potatura di alta qualità, tagli perfetti e meccanismo di apertura praticissimo Spedizione velocissima Consigliato

I’ve been a landscaper and nurseryman for over 15 year, I’ve always used felco’s becuase that is what my company provided. I read many reviews on these pruners describing the quality of the blade and cut. I cannot dissagree, these pruners are hands down, better then any pair of felco’s I’ve ever had (and I’ve tried many). Blade is super sharp, does an amazing job and keeping sharp, even after cutting lots of hardwood. It’s equally as modular and replaceable as felco’s. Squeeze to unlock is the best feature I’ve ever experience on pruners. At first they were hard to squeeze tight enough to unlock, but after several unlocks it becomes easier. After months the locking mechanism is still holding strong. The only time squeeze to unlock doesn’t work is if I’ve been cleaning a bunch of pines and my pruners get covered in sap, easy to fix, but the sticky sap will allow you to squeeze to unlock, but the sticky sap will prevent the pruners from opening, so you have to do it manually. I was unsure about these pruners using a big spring in the middle instead of the kind found on felco’s but it has worked flawlessly. I think the spring will age better then felco’s spring mechanism. With the felco’s spring, it can rust easily and it give lots of resistance, making pruning much more difficult, whereas the spring in these ARS pruners will age much better and won’t give me that issue. The price is amazing!! Super high quality materials, Japanese carbon blade, all for almost $20 cheaper then felco #2. I’m never looking back, and i cannot stop telling my landscaper friends about how awesome these pruners are. Felcos have a larger market share in North America, but its purely based on marketing, ARS pruners are hands down better.
