Beautifully made high quality super sharp shears. I have no criticism. Garden centres sell knock-off versions under name of Burgon and Ball which I have tried and are not as good.
Roll over Titchmarsh.
Best shears I have ever seen or used. I hope they last as well as they are made.
Wonderful Shears
We have quite a lot of hedge to cut – about 20 metres of Hornbeam, and 100 metres of Leylandii which is 2.1 metres high. Previously I have used electric clippers but the batteries on the cordless ones only last about 20 minutes before needing a 4 hour charge, and the I keep cutting the cable on the powerful electric machine. This year I did both hedges with these hand-shears. Madness I hear you cry, but it actually took the same amount of time as with the big electric machine.
These shears are lovely and light and much easier to wield than the electic ones (even the cordless clippers have some weight to them). They are also very sharp, making light work of both the Leylandii and the Hornbeam (both are cut annually so there were no stems thicker than 10mm which the shears took easily.)
The Leylandii hedge took less than 4 hours to do including the top. I split that across two days as it is still quite tiring clipping after about 90 minutes.
One last thing. The method of cutting you use with hand shears is actually better and easier than with electric shears. With electric you sweep from side to side which itself is tiring on the arms. With hand shears you cut front-on to the hedge which puts less strain on the arms and allows a cleaner and easier cut.
These shears are expensive (perhaps three or four times the price of “ordinary” hand shears) but they are so light and comfortable and the long handles give great leverage. If you have a lot of hedge to cut, I believe they are worth it. You should even consider ditching the electric shears for these beauties!

Well worth it.
Cuts like a dream, light weight and V strong, best I’ve ever used simple as that.
Great Piece Of ki
Fantastic piece of kit. I wan concerned it might not be man enough for professional work, no hesitancy after using. Lightweight in an unbelievable fashion and more than man enough for 10mm like the write up specifies…just don’t get overconfident with it perhaps is my only criticism, no bad thing

Awesome shears!
Fantastic shears – so lightweight & incredibly sharp. Worth every penny. I was so pleased with these I bought the ARS extendable shears as well!
Superb hedge clippers.
Light to hold, easy to use and very, very sharp. Seem to be durable and well made.
Good tools are worth paying for, as long as you don’t lend or lose them. I need shears but only need one pair in my life and these were recommended everywhere I looked. I’m sure they would last a lifetime. They look to be of exceptional quality and like other quality tools I have they make doing the job easier and also add some pleasure to the task..
Excellent lightweight shears
KR-1000 Ultra Light Professional Multi-Purpose Shears are wonderful to use – very light and really sharp – blades holding a good edge – if you use shears frequently they are well worth the expense!

Makes cutting the hedge a pleasure
Brilliant, with great design detail. I love using these shears. Their subtle curved design is great for subtle trimming of globe shaped box topiary. Strong enough to cut through thicker branches. So light and easy to use I have left my petrol hedge trimmer in the shed. Light, well balanced so easy for me as a lady to use for long periods. a great item and investment.

Great produc
These are absolutely amazing. They are light, easy to use for long periods and give added accuracy to trimming shrubs and plants. They are obviously designed for cutting back less dense foliage, they are not able to cut through branches over 10mm, without compromising the blades. That said, their design is more for light heading, I really enjoy using them and would recommend them.

Bought these shears to replace a pair of English made that I’ve used for 48 years and they are absolutely superb.
Simply th best hedge clippers you can buy
Razor sharp, ergonomic handle and easy to use. These are simply the best hedge trimmers I have ever used.

I very much echo the views of others, using a good pair of shears can often be easier than using heavier electrical or petrol-powered hedge trimmers. Over the years I’ve bought countless pairs of well-known branded shears, which seldom seem to last any more than three or four seasons. For me the main failing is the pivot point, which becomes worn and subsequently difficult to re-adjust. Hopefully these shears will overcome that weakness and provide many years of service, but at the moment it’s too early to say.
These shears are seriously sharp, so be careful especially when cleaning them. I’ve deducted one star due to the price, but to be fair Amazon are way cheaper than other outlets. Let’s hope I’ve made a wise investme

Excellent product, they are very well balanced and light, and therefore easy to use.
A joy to use
I love these shears. Very sharp, ergonomically designed and light to hold.
Absolutely fantastic shears, perfect for box hedges
Absolutely fantastic shears, perfect for box hedges. Very sharp and easy to use.
One tip, dunk the blades into water whilst using them to help the hedge recover and reduce the residue build up from leaves.

Best hand shears ever !
Sharpest and best hand shears that I have ever owned. Very well balanced, even with your grip shortened for close control. Used on both previt and leylandii hedges with which it gave great results on both. Very easy to adjust blade cutting closeness, by releasing central locking screw and shaped washer, tighten nut, replace washer, tighten locking screw. Replacement cutting edges also available.

Got the matching lopers to go with these shears. Really light, easy to manage and so sharp you could shave with them. Brilliant.
Bought these to do regular cutting back of a 100m long hedgerow, which previously I’d been doing with a petrol strimmer. Although a strimmer seems like it should be faster for that sort of job I find I can work for hours with these lightweight shears when my arms would be aching after an hour holding a strimmer at shoulder height. Plus working with shears is almost silent so I can listen to the radio while working rather than having to wear ear defenders.
As others have commented these shears feel like real quality, very lightweight, and ferociously sharp. After two long sessions using them I thought I’d better wipe down the blades yesterday with some WD40 on a wad of kitchen paper. With a gentle wipe one of the blades cut straight through the paper, and then my finger, which is still pretty sore. Lesson: wear gardening gloves when wiping the blades down in future. Not a complaint, but an indication of just how sharp these blades are, even after a few hours cutting through blackthorn and hawthorn.
Far superior to all the major brand shears I’ve used over the years, with the added bonus of having a funny name.

Worth paying extra for these. Lightweight and super-sharp, they keep an edge for a long time.
I purchased the ARS Ultra Light Professional Multi Purpose Shears 3 weeks ago on 19.09.17. We have a very large garden with a mixture of Conifer, Hawthorn and Laurel hedging . These quality shears are Superb, extremely sharp with their long handles they have made the task of cutting the hedges especially the hawthorn so much easier and quicker. They are far superior to any of the shear we have used in the past.

I moved to a house with an overgrown garden and inherited two pairs of shears. The more modern pair were thrown out as totally useless even cutting grass was a ‘clamp and tear’ rather than cutting process. The ancient wooden shears were OK for grass (with frequent sharpening) but no good for hedges. The pair that looked best performed worst ….. so how to pick a replacement?
In this case paying more has provided a quality product that’s worth the price. The shears are really sharp. The long, curved handles are really easy to use and they’re really light so the extra reach of the longer handles is a benefit not an unwieldy burden.
The hedge is shorn!

This is our second set – the first is still working. Top quality blades stay sharp and light to ues
Japanese excellence.
What a brilliant pair of shears! Pricey, but I think it will be worth it. Coped very well with all I’ve thrown at them so far! Very light, nice to use, and well designed.

ARS shears
The best shears I have ever owned must be careful when cleaning they are very sharp
Perfect for precision work
Absolute perfection for topiary or light hedge work. The shears are super light, very manoeuvrable and sharp (easily kept sharpened with a sharpening stone). this purchase is my second pair, my first pair are 6 years old and still working well but as I find them so essential for my Japanese style niwakis, I thought a reserve pair was a good idea.
They are a bit pricey but especially for gardeners with joint/strength problems, these are ideal.
Packaging was lousy, which seems mainly to be the case with Amazon just now.

Fantastic. Like a hot knife through butter. The changeable blades also make this far easier to maintain than fixed blade shears
The best of the best.
The best of the best. I wish I had found these years ago. Light, very easy to use, a top quality product. I have previously purchased shears for half this price which were heavy to use and quick to rust and blunt. Fabulous product.

Very sharp and effective shears. I have knocked off one star as the protective cover for the blades seems cheap and I do not know know long it will last. These are the only good shears I have had in a long time (since the UK had a steel industry??). I am pleased with the purchase, despite the expensive price.

Fantastic- Ive been in the garden using them ever since they arrived. Razor sharp light weight and comfortable to use – expensive but worth every penny.
Bought this last September, so have had limited use, now the garden is in full growth, I have had the chance to use. I must say, myself and my better half both think this fantastic. I would rate this as the best shears I have ever used, sharp, beautifully balanced and so light, a chore is turned into a breeze.

They're very light and very comfortable. They are very sharp
They’re very light and very comfortable. They are very sharp, powerful and a delight to use. I’m looking forward to the rest of the year and a perfect pairing with the ARS Lopping Shears bought at the same time.
All be it expensive they really are the best shears I have used to date and use them every week. I should know I have been a professional gardener for over 35 years.

I have not bought expensive shears before but with lots of hedges etc to cut I thought I would spend more than usual this time. They are really excellent, easy to operate and far better than I have ever used before. I would recommend them to anyone.

Sharp. Light. Perfectly engineered. Don’t consider buying any other brand of shears. In fact, don’t consider buying an electric hedge trimmer. This will do a better job and give you much more pleasure to use.

These are the best shears you could ever have. I now have 2 for my extensive garden and have thrown away all the old conventional shears that i had which were never satisfactory.

You get what you pay for - ace!
Brilliant! Sharp, lightweight, easy to manipulate to prune even rounded shapes. Love them. I have quite a lot of cloud pruned box to cut and a smaller flat edged hedge. I was amazed by how fast I could trim them all – even though I was constantly disinfecting to avoid spread of possible box blight.

Superb produc
Very nice in the hand and well balanced. Cuts beautifly. Real pleasure to use.
I bought these shears because I was fed up with buying cheaper ones that never lived up to my requirement. We have a big garden surrounded by tall, mixed hedges which I’ve been cutting by hand for 40 years. I haven’t yet cut the hedges with these shears, but I have just spent a morning cutting into an overgrown area of bramble near our allotment. They were magnificent! Light to use, an excellent cutting edge that made mincemeat of some very thick stems and I could easily have continued all day without tiring. One minor observation. The little screw which holds the locking nut in place worked loose and the blades started to loosen. It was easily fixed and didn’t happen again, so I guess it hadn’t been tightened sufficiently in the factory. The blades can be easily removed, so I’m hoping that they can be replaced in the future when they get blunt or damaged. Really very pleased.

Smaller than we expected but great shears. My wife and I fight to use them.
Definitely the best shears I have owned
Have always loved Ars products, so wasn’t surprised that this was super sharp, super light and well balanced. My poor garden does not know what has hit it.
Five Stars
The best shears and they supply a cover for the blades.
Remarkable.
Like no other shears I have used. Extraordinarily light and sharp as a lazar. Hedge trimming has never been so effortless.
Best I've ever owned!
These really are the best you can buy unless you wonder over to niwaki (who also sell these!) and spend lots more hard earned. They are impossibly light and well balanced. They hold an edge for an age which is useful because you won’t want to stop using them! I’ve tried top of the range Fiskars, Spear and Jackson etc. and they don’t come close. Yes it’s a lot of money to spend but if you enjoy keeping your well tamed garden in good order then these are a pleasure to use. I have cheap copies of these ARS and they just don’t compare.
Go on … buy them … you’ll be so happy you did!

Outstanding cut and quality of produc
I am very impressed with the quality of these shears compared to anything else I have ever owned.
It took me less than a minute to tidy a shrub that usually takes me 10-15 minutes. The cut is so sharp that my bushes have never looked so good.
The blades cut through a 9mm branch (that broke my cheap fiskars shears), with ease. It was like the branch wasn’t even there. It isn’t now.
I’m done with cheap alternatives – Japanese steel all the way from today onwards.

Brilliant. We’ll see how long the blades last but so far so good. Zz.
Well finally decided to get the blades dirty, it’s sharp, light weight so much so that it can be used at arms length holding the very ends of the handles with ease. Flips over nicely in use gives a fine cut and speeds up the operation as it feels natural in the hand. Excellent piece of kit.

Good cut and lightweight. Grips on handles are plastic..rubber coating would be preferable.
Very pleased so far with this purchase
I will be 68 years of age soon and am still working part time as a gardener.Though I do have a mechanical hedge saw, it puts heavy pressure on my back as I get older. Therefore I prefer to use a hand shears for hedging and topiary. When I read the reviews for this Ars shears, I was impressed and bought a pair, though they were a lot more expensive than I would normally spend. My first job using them,which I was dreading, was a 200 metre light weight hedge. The shears made very light work of this job with none of the usual stress to my arms, wrists or back. Very pleased so far with this purchase. B.C.

Easy and light to use
A bit expensive but you get what you pay for. They are a quality product. Easy and light to use.
Excellent shears. Very ligh
Excellent shears. Very light, can hold them down the handle if you need to use them at a shorter length but the handle length is useful for bigger hedges. Cut brilliantly.

These are in a completely different league to normal garden shears. Simple and well engineered.
The product is fine except it needed a good dose of oil and all the instructions were in Japanese and not English.
Brilliant, well worth the expense. No more getting my knuckles battered with my old (supposedly good quality) shears. These are lightweight, well-balanced but very strong and easily cuts thicker twigs and branches (up to 10mm thick) even at arms length.

Simply the best!
The Ferrari of shears. Lightweight quality construction and razor sharp.
This is the first time I have bought anything other than cheap/midrange shears and these were a revelation. So light and well balanced yet cut very well and would handle twigs up to 10mm with no effort. The handles are long in relation to the blades which gives considerable leverage.
The blades are very sharp and although not easily sharpenable as they are chrome plated on high carbon steel which also means they should not rust.
The blades and all of the other bits are replaceable however although I have not needed replacement parts and it looks from how they are made it will be a long time before I do it was very difficult to find anywhere to buy spares.
As a finishing touch I liked the protective sleeve that covered the blades.

Does the job. Best shears I have owned. Worth the expense. Looks likely to last a lifetime or two
Best shears we have ever purchased, yes they are more expensive than the rest, but they are sharp, light and long, ideal for topiary.
Sometimes a good tool is worth the extra and repays you with satisfaction. Better to buy a good pair of shears than these powered hedgecutters any day.

Great pair of shears which are a joy to use.
They look and feel like they will last a lifetime.
I purchased these elsewhere as there was an outstanding offer.
But I needed a new pair of shears as all my others are old have been sharpened so many times and although they still work are getting worn in the fixings and don’t hold there position for that long before they need adjusting.
These have had great reviews and being Japanese you know the steel is good at this level and ARS do not make rubbish.
They are light strong and the sharpest shears I have ever owned, comfortable to use because of their lightness I can do nothing but recommend these shears, the only thing against them is their length makes them a bit to unwieldy for topiary but I have other shears etc for that.
