Title: Love my ars shears
Review: I am a professional event florist and use these shears for cutting my flowers as I am making arrangements. I have found the ars shears to be very comfortable to hold with a smooth handle that seems to fit perfectly in my right hand. I love the latch closure which helps me secure the blades closed for easy traveling in my bag to an event. They are very sharp when you first get them and can easily give a deep cut if you aren’t paying attention. Overall I think these are a great value. I have not figured out how to properly sharpen them so I end up purchasing a new pair every 5-6 months to get a nice sharp cut on my flower stems. They are definitely worth the price.

Title: Great clippers/sharp cut
Review: I love them , but wish they had come w a protective shield or cloth bag for storage. They make trimming fresh flowers easy w sharp cuts. I also use them to deadhead flowers in the garden. Great value at price point. Very easy to handle. Flip metal clip to open/close for storage Arthritis friendly. Highly recommend!

Title: Almost as good as their top rated (heavy duty) pruner
Review: I have a husband who takes his frustrations with yard work out on my garden tools. Last year I found my favoprite pruner rusted, under a downspout. This year it was on the ground under a wet tarp. I came back to Amazon and ordered another of the Coronas I had been using for years, and it had rust just one week after I opened the package. That one is on it's way back. I read the article Amazon has links on the best pruners and decided to give the ARS a try. Since they are fairly expensive I decvided to get this one as a back up, so I never hand him my nice pruners. I took them both out in the yyard yesterday, and there is very little difference between them, which is surprising since these are half the price. The only notable differences are that this has slightly thinner handles and thicker blades. It is carbon steel, which means it should hold it's edge for a good long time, and also be rust resistant.They were very easy to use one handed, and required little force. I pruned my Pommagranite tree in minutes. I did not do as well with thick branches as my old coronas. Those I could use with branches up to an inch, maybe more (with multiple cuts). These were excellent up to a half inch or so, but I could not even get it around larger branches, and since I have quite a few... will probably be using my saw more than I did in the past. But, I live effectively in the rain forest, and have weeds which can grow over 30 feet in a season. Not many people (outside Hawaii) have to deal with that. I think these would be excellent for more routine gardening tasks. If you have trees to take out, at least go up to the 8 inch. These are, however, nearly indistinguishable from the 7x.

Title: Quality Pruner but Slippery Handles
Review: I like the ease of cutting through most branches and stems in the garden. The ease of use would be 5 stars if the handles were not so slippery.I like that this Light Pruner / Pocket Secateur is very comfortable in my large hand and can be placed in my pocket when not in use.The pink color is fine and does help to find the pruner if I place it on the ground.I do not like the slippery handles and I have purchased textured gloves to help to grip the handles.Besides the pink handle color, I do not see much difference between these and my older ARS Light Pruner / Pocket Secateur (the bumper is missing on my older ARS).For the money vs value I recommend the ARS and I would buy again.

Title: Perfect size for smaller hands
Review: Sharp, easily fits in both hand and holster, and is easy to flip open and closed. It’s become my favorite pair of heavy-duty clippers.

Title: Indispensible
Review: I am a woman who loves to garden as well as a women gardener (by profession) but I am very small, including my hands. I have used these ARS pruners for nearly 20 years and stretch them beyond their limit when pruning fruit trees. They perform wonders. Felco, the standard of professionals, carries a version designed for small hands but those still have too great a span when fully open to fit my grip. The ARS "light" pruner will do more than you expect and can be sharpened over and over. Eventually the spring gives out and I've never located spare parts, but that is after much continuous service . If you don't work with the disability of tiny hands, you would still find these pruners invaluable and more convenient to use than a heavier model around the garden for dealing with the day to day needs of herbacious plants as well as shrubs. Anyone who borrows a pair from me for an hour or so returns them with exclamations of pleasure and praise..

Review: Tagliano bene, l'acciaio sembra buono mi piacciono anche perché le lame cromate non si scuriscono con l'uso. Per giardinaggio sono ottime, per una potatura intensiva consiglio le ARS VS-8xz

Review: Ich liebe diese Schere und sie ist mein täglicher Begleiter im Arbeitsalltag. Sie schneidet seit mehr als einem Jahr wie eine eins, ohne auch nur einmal nachgeschliffen worden zu sein. Für kleine Hände goldrichtig, mit wenig Gewicht und einem wirklich schönen Design - leider leider hier nur in Rot erhältlich, dabei gibt's sooo viele weitere tolle Farben im Sortiment bei ARS! Bitte aufstocken 😉
