Bought for daughter, who is training to be a professional Gardner.
Great quality.
Quality build, sharp and a fairly long reach – but rather expensive!
I am thrilled with my ARS-KR-1000 Ultra Light Professional Multi-Purpose Shears.
It is light, very sharp and a great pleasure to use.
Very sharp and the long handles are great for long reaching
Sharp, light and robust. Worth paying a bit extra for.
These are simply the best shears I have used. They are very sharp and lightweight but at the same time robust. The longer handles improve reach and the cut is very good
Everyone said these garden shears were superb so i took a gamble and splashed out and spent big on them and boy was it worth it. The saying hot knife through butter comes to mind when you see how easy they cut through hedging. I bought these to cut my beech hedging and they did a beautiful job. Like all good tools you need to look after them make sure and oil them after use.
Warning these are razor sharp I can attest to this with a deep cut on my thumb using a heavy duty cloth to clean them after use it sliced straight through it and into my thumb, no stiches needed but super painful.
Well-designed, provided with a protective pouch and designed to last
The blades are replaceable (see photo) and available at a well-known auctions site.
Light and well balanced so not tiring to use over some time.
Safely recommended, look after them and they will do the same.
I’ve only had them for less than a month, but I absolutely love these shears. I use them for hedge cutting and also for grass cutting where I want more precision than I can achieve with a strimmer.
I’m a professional gardener and I love these shears. So light and sharp, effortless to use. Have lasted well and hardly need sharpening. Love them so much I bought a second pair for home.
Omg I just love these. They make my old (still very good) shears feel clunky. The balance and sharpness of these make them a pleasure to use.
Impressive for cutting back my small area of grass. Wish I’d bought one years ago.
These come very sharp and with good steel to the blades. I’ve had them for just over a year and sharpened them once with a rough whetstone (400 grit). They do need tightening every 6 months or so, or the loose blades will merely pinch whatever you are attempting to cut. (You’ll certainly notice when then stop working well.) They are better for fine work (like box hedges or similar) than rough plants (brambles, ivy, or pyracantha). Don’t buy this tool if you do not intend to sharpen the blade or tighten the nut. Without that simple maintenance, your bog-standard garden-centre shears will be effective for longer. But these, with proper care, are so much lighter, easier, and pleasant to use.
Used constantly through the spring, summer and autumn, these are highly effective shears, extremely light for handling all day, sharp, and easy to clean. For thorough maintenance, the entire assembly comes apart in a couple of minutes. I recommend a blob of loctite on the screws as always, yet do not recognise the issues suffered by another customer if not using loctite.
That’s what ARS means and it’s true. They’re brilliant for pruning, cutting back branches, anythingsmall or large! They’re light and easy to use.
In fact we had a no-mow-May, so the lawn has grown really high, and we’ll cut the grass down to the height when we can use the mower in June!
We shan’t swap them for any other.
Absolutely brilliant shears…light, very sharp and easy to hold
Excellent design, easy to use and cut extremely well and efficiently.
