ARS Curved Nose Fruit Snips - 155mm Length - Deep Curve Precision Harvest Tool for Citrus & Soft Fruit

ARS Curved Nose Fruit Snips - 155mm Length - Deep Curve Precision Harvest Tool for Citrus & Soft Fruit

When harvesting high-value, thin-skinned fruit, even a minor nick can lead to rot and lost revenue. The ARS Deep Curved Nose Fruit Snips offer an added layer of security with a more pronounced blade curvature, designed to hug the contours of the fruit. This specialized Japanese-made tool allows you to achieve an ultra-close, surgical cut to the stem while keeping the sharp tips safely away from the skin, ensuring your harvest remains pristine and market-ready.

Best For The commercial orchardist or specialty grape grower requiring the highest level of puncture protection when harvesting delicate, round, or thin-skinned fruits and citrus.

Key Features

• Deeply Curved Safety Blade: The 310D features a deeply rounded blade profile that curves away from the cutting plane more significantly than standard models, providing maximum clearance to prevent accidental skin punctures on high-value fruit.

• All-Steel High-Carbon Construction: Forged from legendary Japanese steel, the entire tool is built for exceptional hardness and durability, ensuring the blades retain a razor-sharp edge through thousands of high-speed harvest cuts.

• Surgical-Grade Bypass Action: Delivers an exceptionally clean, flush cut to the stem, promoting faster plant healing and ensuring the harvested crop has a professional, high-end presentation for the consumer.

• Ergonomic PVC-Coated Grips: The high-visibility red handles provide a secure, non-slip hold and reduce hand vibration, ensuring comfort during high-repetition work and making the tool easy to identify in the field.

• Ultra-Lightweight & Compact (155mm): At just 155mm in length, these snips offer unmatched maneuverability in tight branch junctions, significantly reducing hand and wrist fatigue during prolonged, all-day harvesting sessions.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment
