ARS Hi-Reach Pruner/Secateur - 1.2m to 2.1m Lengths - Long Reach Professional Bypass Pruner for High-Altitude Trimming

Reaching high-altitude branches without the instability of a ladder is essential for safe and efficient garden maintenance. The ARS Hi-Reach Pruners feature a professional secateur-style angled head and a lightweight, high-strength tubular pole. Engineered in Japan, these pruners allow you to achieve the perfect cutting angle on every branch with surgical precision and minimal physical effort, ensuring your trees and shrubs remain healthy and well-groomed.

Best For The professional landscaper or home gardener needs a lightweight, long-reach solution for the precise, ladder-free pruning of high branches and dense shrubs up to 22mm thick.

Key Features

• 180-Degree Rotating Shaft: The handle features a unique rotating design that allows you to set the ideal cutting angle without moving the entire pole, providing maximum maneuverability in complex canopies.

• Secateur-Style Angled Head: The razor-sharp blades are set at an ergonomic angle to increase visibility and ease of access, ensuring clean, surgical-grade bypass cuts that promote faster plant healing.

• Hard Chrome Plated Blades: Forged for exceptional toughness, the blades are hard chrome plated to actively resist rust and sticky sap buildup, guaranteeing a smooth cutting action and effortless cleaning.

• Snag-Free Internal Mechanism: The driving rod is completely enclosed within the high-strength tubular pole, preventing the tool from getting caught in branches or dense foliage during high-reach operation.

• Lightweight Tubular Construction: The pole is larger and stronger than previous models while remaining remarkably light, minimizing shoulder and arm fatigue during prolonged overhead pruning sessions.

• Cast Alloy Handle with Safety Lock: Features a comfortable, ergonomic cast alloy handle with an integrated lock, providing superior control and safe storage when the tool is not in use.

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)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• 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

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.
