ARS - Replacement Cutting Blade for VS-9XR & VS-9XZ

Restore the precision and effortless cutting action of your ARS pruning shears with the VS-9X2 replacement blade. Designed specifically for compatibility across the robust 9-series models, this genuine ARS spare part is crafted to restore the 'snappy' performance and clean cut required for demanding arboricultural and horticultural work. Replacing a worn or damaged blade is the most effective way to ensure your tools continue to meet the exacting standards of daily professional use.

Best For Professional landscapers, arborists, and gardeners who rely on their VS-9 series shears for high-volume, precision pruning. This blade is ideal for those who require a tool that remains sharp, resists sap build-up, and provides long-term reliability in challenging outdoor environments.

Key Features

• Genuine ARS Spare Part: Engineered to the exact manufacturing specifications of the VS-9 range, ensuring a perfect fit and restoring the tool to its original, high-performance state.

• Premium Materials & Coating: Forged from high carbon steel for superior edge retention and ease of sharpening. The blade features a hard-chrome plating, which provides a protective layer that ensures excellent rust resistance and a smooth surface that actively resists sap and debris accumulation.

• KWF Profi Certified Performance: As part of a tool range carrying the internationally recognised KWF Profi mark, this blade is built to satisfy rigorous standards of durability, safety, and ergonomic efficiency under real-world conditions.

• Sustainable Maintenance: Replacing the blade rather than the entire tool is a cost-effective and environmentally conscious choice. It extends the functional life of your equipment and supports a more sustainable approach to professional tool management.

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.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.

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.
