Best shrub shears
These shears are ultra-light and EXTREMELY sharp.
I like to use a short hold (ie hold close to the
blade cross-over). These are light enough to allow for
a short grip. The handles are long for easy reach of
hard to get branches.
I will use my other brand for clipping grass that is in the
dirt.Read full review...

The be-all and end-all of hedge shears
Straight out of the box, these ARS HS-KR1000s will slice paper like the best quality scissors. Just stupid sharp. And they stay that way. I've got probably 8-10 hours of nothing but reining in and shaping an out of control row of 16 head high boxwoods. Mind you, I wouldn't use these on much over 1/4 to 3/8" diameter brush but they breeze through the rougher stuff no problem and maintain that razo sharpness for the more delicate cuts. Though I dont have the talent myself, I imagine these would also be perfect for topiary sculpting. They also seem more immune to picking up sap/dirt than my ARS pruner blades. I've only needed a quick wipe down with rubbing alcohol and a light spray of WD-40 before putting them away for the night. Do you need to spend $80-$120 on a set of hedge shears? Probably not but, if you enjoy the craftsmanship and performance of a superbly made tool, you kind of owe it to yourself to experience these.Read full review...

ARS is no.1
A well thought out design. From the quality build to razor sharp blades and ease of use and maintenance.
These shears are simply the best available! As they are accurate and light weight and a joy to use. They make for precise and efficient work of trimming and sculpting of shrubs and hedges.
I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a high quality set of shears. ARS is no.1.Read full review...

Great tool
I've purchased two of these, they are an excellent tool. Great for shearing grasses and weeds, also great for chopping your shearings into the compost pile. Take a hammer to your noisy weed whacker machine, get some exercise with this great, quiet, tool.Read full review...

Excellent shears! Sharp!
Finally, something that will actually cut grasses!!! I've actually found that regular scissors work better than normal shears for tripping garden grasses but these shears are really good! I have a pair ARS pruners that are the best I've ever had - expensive but so worth it rather than going through a few $10 pruners - so decided to try ARS shears and the quality is the best! They're not the most expensive (probably mid-range) but this price is probably $50+ less than in the stores and these are super! Highly recommend!Read full review...

Best Shears Ever!
Best shears I have ever used. First they are very light and easy on arms and hands. Good size and sharp, they make shaping easy. Would buy again.

typical Japanese quality
unbelievably effective and easy to use
I went to give them a quick "try out" and accidentally finished the whole job off
So easy to use even my daughter was demanding a go with them

Extra sharp blades that keep their edge and stay sharp
Purchased to cut ornamental grasses. Very pleased with cutting ability. Have used multiple times and they still are extremely sharp and comfortable to use. Superior to shears previously purchased at local big box store. Highly recommend despite the somewhat expensive price. Read full review...

Pro hedge shears
The 1st thing you notice is how light they are, that comes at a cost...literally. They are not cheap. However they cut amazingly well and are a joy to use. My only beef is that to insure the lightness of the product the red handle inserts seem to be made of plastic and give it a "cheaper" feel than I was expecting for the price. I would have preferred it was rubber instead of plastic. Still , they deliver and I am pleased.Read full review...
