Elegant pruners.
5 Stars
Elegant pruners.
These are beautifully crafted pruners. You feel the quality. My hand is relatively small (7-1/8" from the tip of my middle finger to the bottom of my palm; 8" around the widest part of my palm). I can open the jaws of the pruners fully, BUT it is a stretch. (When fully opened, my little finger is pretty much useless.) When my hand is in a fist, my figures measure 3" across, which fits the black handle perfectly. So, a bigger hand would probably like these even more than I, which is saying something, because they are the only pruners I will reach for.

This gardening geek is in love with these shears. The brand was recommended to me by a seasoned professional and multiple online articles, and although I was hesitant to spend the money initially on a brand I hadn’t used before, I’m so glad I did. They’re very sharp and haven’t dulled in the 2 months I’ve been using them regularly. The rotating handle makes a HUGE difference and I’ve had zero wrist and elbow pain after using them for hours on end, unlike standard shears. That alone is priceless. The Auto Unlock feature is very cool, makes me feel like a pruning ninja. They are on the larger size but that’s perfect for me and my big hands. I like them more than the Felcos I’ve used in the past, they have more strength and sturdiness in my opinion.

Be very careful to keep your fingers out of their way and/or wear gloves though, I cut the heck out of my pinky due to my own carelessness. It didn’t hurt really which I attribute to their strength and sharpness, although I needed stitches after. I’ve cut my finger with Fiskars before (yes, I’m accident prone) and that hurt more and was more of a jagged cut. I still love these but am just way more attentive and am sure to wear thick gloves when using them just in case.

Overall I highly recommend these shears and will be purchasing more tools from this brand as needed.

I LOVE these secateurs/pruners! Work in a Vineyard and this is a serious improvement to my original Corona pruners. They are comparable to the felco but I love the locking and unlocking mechanism on these ARS massively above those. It's just so convenient to squeeze the handle to unlock them and just thumb flick to lock them. Working in a Vineyard for hours upon hours, week after week, year after year, makes you treasure the little things that make life easier especially in your hands. They are very comfortable to use and while yes they open very widely at full release, you'll never really have them open like that while using so it's really not an issue. I don't have petite hands though and I have long fingers (piano player) so that may have something to do with the comfort level as well.

My only complaint is trying to source replacement blades other than ordering directly through the company itself.

The seller was prompt in sending of the item and I received it in the estimated time frame. I absolutely recommend them and the pruners!

I am a gardening professional, working at a public garden as well as in a community garden and caring for my own gardens. My main pruners have been Corona BP4250 which have served me very well over the years. I have been experiencing some carpal tunnel symptoms in the height of pruning season for the past two years. This year I experimented with some Fiskars Power Gear hand pruners borrowed from a friend. They seemed to help and I liked them, although they are distinctly for righties only and I do occasionally switch it up. I wasn't as into the Power Gear 2, though, which is what is available now. I really enjoyed using my ARS telescoping pole pruners, being especially impressed with how well the blade holds its edge and the cleanness of the cuts, so I decided to make the investment and get these.
Some people had mentioned in reviews that the handle spun too freely, and I do like how the Power Gear is geared to turn with the cut. But these are not floppy or anything like that, and within a short time of actual pruning they felt totally natural. And because they aren't geared I can use them in either hand. The blade is super sharp, as I expected. The lock mechanism works really well and is now instinctual. Best part is that I have experienced almost no hand fatigue and no numbness even after full days of pruning work. They have been well worth the investment.
I do keep the Coronas on hand as a back-up, especially if I need to prune roots or trim vines with wire running through them - I don't want to damage that edge!

As a professional gardener, I use my pruners every day. I LOVE these. They come so sharp and stay that way. They went through my thumbnail like soft butter. It needed a trim anyway :) I normally sharpen my shears regularly and I haven't had to do these at all yet. The rotating handle is great for preventing blisters. The locking mechanism is easily accessed and brilliant. A firm squeeze will unlock them, and a a simple click of the latch will lock them again. I've used lots of other types of pruners, and these stand out above the rest for sure. I usually spend $20-30ish, but I'm so glad I spent extra on these. I can't see a situation where I would use any others.

ARS hand pruners are very good quality tools. They are very sharp, cutting thru branches with greater ease than my Coronas and Okasasune pruners. Notice less hand fatigue than my other brands. Only issue was the poor packaging by Amazon not to mention combining this tool with baking loaf pans and vitamin supplements without any insulation of items. The ARS pruner which is connected to a hard plastic safety shield had broken off during shipment. Surprised items arrived without visible damage.

Unlike many-many junky pruners around, this one is the very well built: ergonomics and design, materials, etc. It is very sharp and the cutting is effortless. I am very satisfied.

Reviewed in France on April 24, 2024
Secateur d’excellente qualité, par contre je trouve qu’il glisse avec des gants de travail même antidérapant. J’ai vraiment été étonné par sa légèreté, et il est bien compacte, le déverrouillage avec une simple pression est un réel plus, après quelques jours avec je ne peux plus m’en passer. Il faut quand même un petit temps d’adaptation pour la poignée tournante, mais quand on s’y habitue c’est super ergonomique.
