These shears are ultra-light and EXTREMELY sharp. I like to use a short hold (ie hold close to the blade cross-over). These are light enough to allow for a short grip. The handles are long for easy reach of hard to get branches. I will use my other brand for clipping grass that is in the dirt.

Straight out of the box, these ARS HS-KR1000s will slice paper like the best quality scissors. Just stupid sharp. And they stay that way. I've got probably 8-10 hours of nothing but reining in and shaping an out of control row of 16 head high boxwoods. Mind you, I wouldn't use these on much over 1/4 to 3/8" diameter brush but they breeze through the rougher stuff no problem and maintain that razo sharpness for the more delicate cuts. Though I dont have the talent myself, I imagine these would also be perfect for topiary sculpting. They also seem more immune to picking up sap/dirt than my ARS pruner blades. I've only needed a quick wipe down with rubbing alcohol and a light spray of WD-40 before putting them away for the night. Do you need to spend $80-$120 on a set of hedge shears? Probably not but, if you enjoy the craftsmanship and performance of a superbly made tool, you kind of owe it to yourself to experience these.Read full review

A well thought out design. From the quality build to razor sharp blades and ease of use and maintenance. These shears are simply the best available! As they are accurate and light weight and a joy to use. They make for precise and efficient work of trimming and sculpting of shrubs and hedges. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting a high quality set of shears. ARS is no.1.

I've purchased two of these, they are an excellent tool. Great for shearing grasses and weeds, also great for chopping your shearings into the compost pile. Take a hammer to your noisy weed whacker machine, get some exercise with this great, quiet, tool.

Finally, something that will actually cut grasses!!! I've actually found that regular scissors work better than normal shears for tripping garden grasses but these shears are really good! I have a pair ARS pruners that are the best I've ever had - expensive but so worth it rather than going through a few $10 pruners - so decided to try ARS shears and the quality is the best! They're not the most expensive (probably mid-range) but this price is probably $50+ less than in the stores and these are super! Highly recommend!
