I've owned my current ARS pruners for 10+ years. I use them almost every day in the garden. They cut as well today as they did when I first bought them. My favorite garden tool.

I love my ars pruners

Good job, lots of good information. Thanks for posting. I just bought the red one with the clean blade PXM2, can't wait for it to get here.

I had Felco's for about 10 years, but bought ARS after a review that Helen Youst (Gardening with Confidence), did a year and a half ago. Love the ARS. All the points you brought up, including how you unlock them.

ARS is brilliant. Only Japanese can make a very hard blade with geometry that allows to cut without much stress.

Thanks for your terrific description of the pruners! I am using a Corona but am having problems with arthritis in my hands (far more noticeable during summer) for the past couple of years. I’m not planning to give up gardening so I was hoping to find suggestions for new pruners. This is BY FAR the best video I’ve seen. Going to get the ARS. Thanks so much!

Patricia Heflin Thank you! I’ve recommended them to a lot of people’s who have arthritis and they have good reports!

I'm a fan of the Felco 2. . I have a pair that was made in the late 70s. They're still going strong. And believe me when I say I used them hard.

ARS hands down! Ive been using their products for 20 years, and some thief decided to break into my truck and steal my gear bag with my original ARS bypass pruners. Felco and corona fall short in comparison to ARS. Proper review. Cheers

If got two pairs of felco and two pairs of ARS pruners and ARS are buy far my favourite

Who thinks ARS is better than Felco?

Bahco offers a less stiff spring for the PX series, if you prefer a lighter feel. I put one on a Bahco PXM2 that I gave to one of my daughters.

Agree the ARS is a superior pruner based on loads of research that I have done & my personal preference in 40+ years of using pruners, heavily in recent years. Japanese steel for maintaining sharp edge whether it be knives or pruners reigns. My opinion is Felco users just haven’t been exposed to ARS. LOL!

Thanks for the info. I’m going to get ars one.

Pleasant surprise that this came up since I was looking for Felco vs. Bahco because I am curious about ARS but it would be nice to have the brand on the title.

Thank you, great review!

Try LÖWE 5.104, LÖWE 5.107, LÖWE 5.124 or other LÖWE 5 series. They are most easiest hand pruners to use but working only until 16-18mm.

Good job. Just bought an ARS because of you. Do you have any videos on marigolds or chrysanthemums?

As gardener my go to prunes are okatsune hands down :)

I also have Okatsune pruners and hedge shears; they are light and perfect balance, and great for small jobs. And they come with a sheath.

Felco are fantastic, I use Felco6 which suits my smaller hands. In Europe, pretty much all professionals use Felco you really see nothing else, last a lifetime with replacement blades and springs.

Can you tell us what holster you use? I have one that continually falls off when I bend down.

Beware of the counterfeit Felcos being sold on Amazon. I recently made that mistake. Order directly from Felco or an authorized dealer. Do your homework before you order.

Felco6, I use a pen file.

Omg! I know things are sold out/scalped/price gouged during quarantine. But I thought the ARS Hp-vs8z went from like 60 to 106. But your affiliate link is only 3 yrs old... They were only *$37.50!!!*. Up almost 300%! Thankfully most ppl are too dumb to realize the $55 VS-8XZ are the exact same thing, but newer model. Otherwise they'd be reselling for 100+ as well (my g-ma's Xmas present)

Which bahco pruner for mid size hand

I think all pruners should come with a holsters

nice girl. thank you!

You have to try a okasune scissor

It seems Erin @Impatientgardener may have recommended this pruner in last year. Before that she recommended ARS. I would be willing to give any Japanese blade a try. What are some of the special advantages of this, anyone who has used could answer.

Felco the best

Μπραβο!!!!

good,friend

good

Back in the days KZreadrs weren't using stupid zoom in / out / cut effects every 5s. I don't know who started this stupid trend.

Corona shears.

Bahco is Swedish company not French.
