Our collection features professional-grade secateurs, loppers, hedge shears, pruning saws, high-reach tools, scissors, and telescopic poles. Each tool is crafted with razor-sharp edges from high-grade carbon steel with marquench hardening and hard-chrome plating, ensuring exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting cutting performance.

Secateurs & Pruning Shears

ARS secateurs are engineered for precision pruning with razor-sharp cutting edges that make clean cuts without crushing stems. The high-grade carbon steel blades with marquench hardening ensure exceptional sharpness and durability, while the ergonomic handles provide comfort during extended use.

Available in bypass and anvil designs, ARS secateurs are perfect for pruning fruit trees, shaping ornamental plants, harvesting, and general garden maintenance. The hard-chrome plating provides excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring your tools maintain their performance even in challenging conditions.

Whether you're pruning delicate flowers, cutting through tough branches, or maintaining a commercial orchard, ARS secateurs deliver the precision cutting and reliable performance that professionals demand.

Loppers & Hedge Shears

ARS loppers provide the leverage and cutting power needed for larger branches, while maintaining precision and ease of use. The long handles and premium steel cutting blades make quick work of branches up to several centimeters in diameter.

ARS hedge shears are designed for shaping and maintaining hedges with clean, precise cuts. The razor-sharp blades and comfortable handles make hedge trimming more efficient and less tiring, whether you're maintaining a formal hedge or creating artistic topiary.

Both loppers and hedge shears feature the same premium materials and construction as ARS secateurs: high-grade carbon steel with marquench hardening and hard-chrome plating for exceptional durability and cutting performance.

Pruning Saws

ARS pruning saws are designed for cutting through larger branches and tough wood with ease. The precision-ground teeth and premium steel construction ensure clean, efficient cutting while reducing effort and hand fatigue.

Available in various blade lengths and tooth patterns, ARS pruning saws are perfect for tree pruning, branch removal, and general garden maintenance. The ergonomic handles provide secure grip and control, while the razor-sharp teeth make quick work of even the toughest branches.

Like all ARS tools, the pruning saws feature premium materials and construction for exceptional durability. The hard-chrome plating provides corrosion resistance, ensuring your saw maintains its cutting performance season after season.

Professional landscapers trust ARS tools for commercial pruning, tree maintenance, and landscape projects. The durability and exceptional cutting performance ensure reliable results on demanding projects, while the ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue during long work sessions.

Orchard managers and commercial growers rely on ARS tools for fruit tree pruning, harvest preparation, and plant maintenance.

Horticulture professionals value the quality craftsmanship and cutting performance that ARS tools deliver, making them the trusted choice for professional-grade pruning work.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care ensures your ARS tools maintain their exceptional cutting performance and durability for many years. After each use, clean tools thoroughly with warm water and mild soap, removing all plant sap, debris, and moisture. Dry completely immediately to prevent rust, despite the hard-chrome plating providing excellent protection.

Store tools safely in a dry location, keeping cutting edges protected. Never store tools loose with other implements, as this can damage the precision edges. Apply a light coating of oil to metal surfaces periodically to maintain smooth operation and provide additional rust protection.

Keep cutting blades sharp using appropriate sharpening tools. The high-grade carbon steel blades with marquench hardening hold their edge exceptionally well, but periodic sharpening will maintain optimal cutting performance. Well-maintained ARS tools will continue to deliver the precision cutting and reliable performance that professionals trust. With proper care and regular maintenance, your ARS tools will serve you reliably for many years.
