ARS Long Reach Stemgrip Pruners - 0.6m to 2.4m Lengths - Professional "Cut & Hold" Tool for Fruit Picking & Rose Harvesting

ARS Long Reach Stemgrip Pruners - 0.6m to 2.4m Lengths - Professional "Cut & Hold" Tool for Fruit Picking & Rose Harvesting

Harvesting high-value fruits, such as mangoes, avocados, and citrus—or even prize roses—requires a tool that offers both reach and a gentle touch. The ARS Stemgrip Pruners are the premier Japanese solution, featuring a specialized "Cut & Hold" mechanism that securely grips the stem once severed. This allows you to retrieve your harvest from height or depth and place it safely in a basket or crate with one hand, eliminating dropped fruit and bruising.

Best For The commercial orchardist, florist, or rose enthusiast requiring a lightweight, long-reach solution for the damage-free harvesting of fruit and flowers up to 10mm thick.

Key Features

• Integrated "Cut & Hold" Mechanism: The specialized jaws are designed to firmly hold onto the severed stem, allowing you to cut and retrieve fruit or flowers from out-of-reach areas without them falling to the ground and bruising.

• 180-Degree Rotating Shaft: The main shaft rotates easily within the handle, allowing you to set the perfect cutting angle for every branch or bloom without having to twist your wrist or change your stance.

• Marquench Hardened Japanese Steel: Forged from high-carbon tool steel and hardened for maximum toughness, the blades provide exceptional edge retention and a surgical-grade finish that promotes faster plant healing.

• Hard Chrome Plated Finish: The blade surface is hard chrome plated to provide superior resistance against rust and sticky sap buildup, ensuring a smooth, low-friction action and effortless cleaning after a long harvest.

• Lightweight Die-Cast Construction: Built with a high-strength die-cast aluminum body and an ergonomic handle, these pruners are remarkably lightweight, significantly reducing shoulder and arm fatigue during all-day overhead work.

• Removable Harvest Grip: For standard pruning tasks where the holding feature is not required, the upper stem grip can be easily removed, transforming the tool into a standard long-reach bypass pruner.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Usually take 2–8 weeks to arrive, depending on supplier availability. Products from Adloheat may take 8–12 weeks to manufacture—they are made to order in Australia by a small business, and longer lead times reflect the care put into quality.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.

Biosecurity & Interstate Shipping Restrictions

Due to strict state biosecurity regulations, we are unable to ship some products to certain states and territories:

• Potting Mixes cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA), the Northern Territory (NT), or Tasmania (TAS).
• Seeds cannot be shipped to Western Australia (WA).

Orders placed for these items to restricted states will be cancelled and refunded. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that the items being ordered can lawfully be delivered to their state or territory.
