Outstanding hedge shears !!! Jun 29, 2007
By yipeokia

I purchased this product because I have two areas of concern in my yard: a) a 50 ft hedge that I can't wait to remove and replace with a sculptured berm, and b) the rest of my yard with assorted topiaries, shrubs and bushes. I also have an 8 ft holly that I maintain in a spherical shape, which has limited access for a ladder to get in close to trim it like I want, so I needed an extendable tool with good precision capability.
I chose this pair of shears mainly because it is made of Japanese steel, and it is telescopic. This product is total quality , and a far cry from the cheesy aluminum shears from Home Depot that shred my topiaries. The blade edge is sharp enough to shave with, and the " snap in " telescopic handles allow pinpoint precision for your handiwork, which is what anyone who cares about quality landscaping is all about!
So rest assured, if you care about precision and quality, I would highly recommend the ARS hedge shears !

AMAZING HEDGE SHEARS Jul 28, 2010
By law prof
We had a problem. We planted 500 running feet of vetiver grass for hillside retention. Vetiver grass is great for bio-engineering, in our case retaining a steep hillside, but when vetiver grass is fully established, we found it too tough to cut with a Fiskars hedge shears. So we tried a power hedge trimmer, which broke the grass rather than cut it cleanly. Then we discovered that the Japanese make hedge shears with really sharp blades. So we ordered this ARS model. The blades are razor-sharp. The tool is light; the handles are excellent. And best of all, the shears did a great job on our vetiver hedges.

Unique garden shears Dec 11, 2010
By Erik Stone
I used one of these for a year as a person who does landscape maintenance (for 30 years now). It is super sharp and can cut through rather thick stems. The handles extend way out to reach difficult spots. I like it to reach into smaller palm trees to cut off old palm leaves that have many thorns. Nothing else works as well. It works well to reach up into and trim giant Bird of Paradise plants.I can stand up without stooping to trim lower bushes. In many applications nothing does as well as this tool. The only drawback is that the blades are rather short so if you have large hedges they take too long to use. They are a bit on the pricey side but for me it is well worth it as I have found no other tool that can do the things these do. Another company used to sell these but ARS bought the rights to sell this product. Their price is about $15 less than what I paid for the 1st one from the other company. They are well made and strong but still light in weight.

This is a very useful and well designed product. Light in weight and very sharp cutting edges. I prefer the accuracy of this to electric clippers.

Shears for the Samurai in you. Jun 22, 2011
By KippysKorner
For centuries the Japanese have been perfecting the art of sword making. The ARS shears are made in Japan and follow in the same tradition. Model K-900Z. Weight 950 grams, 150mm blade length, overall 720-1050mm. Light aluminum handles and razor sharp nickle plated blades exude Lexus-like quality. Nothing competes with ARS in this class of extendible shears. However, if you're looking to trim 150' of privet hedge with these shears stick with the more convenient power tools. For fine tuning your prized flora beyond the reach of mere conventional means, the ARS won't disappoint.
