Great Pruners
This pruner is a great size for my medium men's hand. It it very well made, sharp and feels good in my hand. I use pruners every day during the growing season. I prune and then cut the material into two inch lengths to use as mulch and compost. I know, buy a shredder. I have them and prefer to do this. I am not recommending it. I just need good long lasting pruners that stay sharp and are easy on my hand. This is the best I have found yet.This pruner is a great size for my medium men's hand.

Locking lever not aligned
I do a lot of flower and vegetable gardening--got these to deadhead my flowers and prune small shrubs. Unfortunately the locking lever that allows the pruners to open or close is not aligned correctly (or the tab was manufactured a tad too long) so it requires immense pressure to move the lever over to open the pruners. Once open, they work fine, but it's enough of a hassle to fight to get them open/closed, that I usually grab my other pruners. So overall decent pruners, but for the price and the ARS reputation, I expected better quality.I do a lot of flower and vegetable gardening--got these to deadhead my flowers and prune small shrubs.

A BETTER CLEAN CUT
Been using Felco f13 pruners for 16 years, I tried the ARS HP-VS8Z and I really like them so mach. No as pricey as the f13, light weight, well made and excellent for my medium size hands. My boos and coworker tried them and they are switching to it too; my only concern is, the ability to find parts for it, but I think it will take a long time until i need them since they are a Japanese quality made product.Been using Felco f13 pruners for 16 years, I tried the ARS HP-VS8Z and I really like them so mach.

Excellent pruners!
There pruners do their job amazingly well. Lightweight, easy to use, good spring, comfortable grip, and the blades never splay. The're fairly small and certainly usable by people with smaller hands. They are still hand pruners though, not loppers, so they're limited to about 5/8" branches on a straight cut and about 1" with a circular cut (slowly spin the pruners around the branch as you're squeezing.) They don't cut by magic; you do have to squeeze pretty hard with bigger branches, but at the same time, the blades are very sharp and slice right through even when you might expect trouble. I've used them quite a bit and so far no nicks in the blade at all. Like any pruners, the blades can get gummed up with sap - to the point that the spring might not always be strong enough to open ... There pruners do their job amazingly well.

I've used them quite a bit and so far no nicks in the blade at all. Like any pruners, the blades can get gummed up with sap - to the point that the spring might not always be strong enough to open them without a little help. I haven't found it to be a problem and a little alcohol easily cleans the blades. They might have sprung open better with a stronger spring, but that would have made them harder to use, so I think they got it just right. The little piece of metal that locks the pruners in the closed position is right where it should be for the thumb to manipulate. You do have to squeeze the pruners firmly to allow the lock to slide forward, but that makes sense, as otherwise the lock might go on by itself. Squeezing the locked pruner a bit causes the lock to unlatch without your having to slide it back with your thumb. One thing to watch out for is that the tip is quite sharp when the pruners are locked shut - sharp enough that they'll probably put holes in your pockets. Putting them in my pants pockets with the tip facing up has worked well for me. A little holster/tip guard would have been nice. The pruners are held together with good sized nuts and bolts - strong and easy to take apart if you need to.

Worth every cent.
I was hesitant on paying almost $40 for a set of pruners but I'm glad I did. These are very high quality and feel great in the hand. I don't feel any hot spots in the handle and the blades are super sharp. If you are able to afford these, get them. You will be happy with the purchase. I know you can get a junk set at the dollar store but you get what you pay for.
