Featuring high carbon steel blades with hard chrome plating, it offers superior sharpness and rust resistance.

## Description

The new standard in professional hand pruners, the HP-VS9Z has everything you want in a heavy duty pruner. The pruner features the world famous sharpness of ARS products, which lasts far longer than competing brands. The blades are hard chrome plated, which supplies the greatest protection against rust and sap available. The blades are offset to maintain natural hand strength and greatly reduce carpal tunnel effects from continued use. Squeeze the handles to open, leaving your other hand free to deal with the job, not the tool. All components are top quality designed for continued professional use, including the spring, which is a full, anchored, wire coil spring that will not pop out or break after heavy use.

Review: Authentic, sharp and do not inadvertently lock while using. Arrived in authentic Japanese packaging. - No worries for those who are concerned about purchasing cheap knock offs. These pruners are the real deal -- made in Japan, top quality, in Japanese packaging. For neophytes, unless you read Japanese, you'll have to get maintenance instructions elsewhere, but there are plenty of YouTube tutorials available. The VS-9Z is one of ARS' largest pruners, truly made for large hands. I wear a large size glove, but my hands are not huge and even so are a bit small for these pruners. I bought them for pruning large branches where I want a sharp, clean cut but don't want to abuse my cherished every day Okatsune pruners, which are one size smaller. The ARS VS-9 is of equal quality and will work well for their intended purpose. Unlike Felco's, which are of similar design, these will not constantly lock up while using, a pet peeve of mine with Felco pruners. The ARS top mounted locking tab locks easily with a push of your thumb and unlock by simply squeezing the handles. ARS pruners, including the VS-9Z are an absolute steal at their price point, and perform wonderfully.
Review: ARS is top-notch, lasts a long time - I have used ARS pruning equipment for over 20 years. It's always been the very highest quality and holds up very well, maintaining good, sharp edges over the years when cared for properly. I always recommend ARS pruning equipment to friends & family and have gifted ARS to others who very much appreciate the quality and durability.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fine set of pruning shears that actually fit my hand.
*by M***M on February 4, 2023*

I use these pruning shears mainly for trail clearing and maintenance in the woods on our farm, so they see heavy use. I’d imagine that they would work well for garden work, such as pruning rose bushes, as well. 😊 They open just by gripping and squeezing the handles, which is quite convenient. No need to manually unlock them. Locking is also simple: just move the lever forward while squeezing the handles. They cut through branches and small saplings easily. I’ve cut saplings up to an inch thick. While some woods are of course harder than others, I am impressed with the pruner’s ability to make short work of most anything I’ve cut with it. For the larger stuff I carry a Silky Professional Big Boy folding saw, which is another essential piece of trail clearing/maintaining equipment. I’ve posted a review for that also. One thing that I’ve noticed is that occasionally wood fibers will get stuck between the blades, and it takes a second hand to open them. It doesn’t happen often, and can be avoided by a quick wipe of side of the blades with a finger or against a sleeve, before closing the shears. I have another set of cheap bypass pruners that do the same thing, but more frequently, so it is evidently a function of the bypass design rather than with these shears in particular. The quality of the materials and construction appear to be top-notch, which is what I have come to expect from Japanese made steel products. Yes, they are expensive, but when it comes to tools, I find that the pleasure of using a finely made tool easily outweighs the increased cost. And these pruners are a pleasure to use. Highly recommended.
