## Description

The VS-series of hand pruners offers a number of features for professional use. The locking latch is released by simply squeezing the handles, enabling single handed operation. The pruners are made of thick high quality cast aluminum with a non-slip coating of smooth plastic for durability and user comfort. These pruners are lightweight and well-balanced to allow extended use with minimal strain and fatigue. The blades are hard chrome plated for increased hardness and resistance to rust and sap. The blades are offset at an angle to maintain natural hand strength and can be re-sharpened or replaced. 8" - standard size. Note: There are no versions with blue handles. If you receive a blue-handled version, it is not genuine and should be returned to the seller.

Review: Best pruner I've had in 30 years - Very sharp, cuts cleanly, and is easy to use. The lock mechanism took a few times to get used to but works well. I have medium to small hands and the size works for me. I've tried several pruners over the years and this is the best by far.
Review: Worth the price - I have had those $5 cheap pruners. They only last a season and don't cut as well. Finally decided to get this quality pruner. So far, its been great, its sharp and make the pruning easy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best value for quality pruners
*by J***K on June 29, 2025*

Three years of regular use here. I've owned/used Corona, Bahco, various Fiskars, and tons of random off-brand pruners/secateurs. These are probably the best value pruners I've come across. Excellent out of the package, sharp AF, easy to clean, well-made, Japanese quality. Compared to the Felco F2, they are slightly more petite and great for medium/smaller hands, though I have large hands and they're fine. The more narrow jaw opening and shorter blade means you won't be cutting really large material as you could with the Felco F2. These are more comparable to the Felco F6, which have a shorter blade and more narrow grip span. I have not, however, really had any issues due to this, and I appreciate the more agile feeling of these for more precision work. If you're doing a lot of big branch pruning and heavy cutting, Felco F2 might be the way to go. There are no corrosion issues as you can get with Felco blades, as the ARS are stainless steel. An occasional cleaning with a light abrasive pad or steel wool with some alcohol gets these shiny again, no problem. That said, stainless steel is generally considered to be a little harder to sharpen than carbon steel, though I've sharpened these maybe three times with a hardened steel edge sharpener (Corona sharpener) and a couple light passes was sufficient to get them plenty sharp. Downsides: Blade adjustment can be a pain. The pivot screw and Nylock nut have to be tightened *just right* to have the blade snug as it bypasses the hook/anvil, but not so tight that it binds. I use a socket wrench on the Nylock nut, and a crescent wrench on the screw head, and monkey with it until it feels right. The design decision for this type of adjustment seems inexplicable to me. Felco wins in this area. The only other nit to pick is the tolerances (tightness) compared to Felco are slightly more loose. The bypass cut has a little more gap and just a bit of wobble between the blade and hook. In practice, it's never been an issue that I can recall. It cuts like a champ and unless you're super dialed in to this detail, you likely won't notice. My advice: If you want ze best, with super tight tolerances and precision engineering, and don't mind more regular maintenance, go Felco. Otherwise, get these for 30-some damn dollars. And if the ARS feel good out of the box, don't mess with it, clean it occasionally, oil it every now and then and these will serve you quite well for a nice price.
