The ARS VS-8XR are professional lightweight and ergonomic pruning secateurs equipped with a rotating handle that moves with the fingers during each cutting movement. This reduces friction and stress on the joints, minimising blistering and joint or muscles injuries. The blades are manufactured using high carbon steel and finished with a hard chrome plating. This ensures that the blades remain rust proof and any residue is easily wiped off. The blades also go through a series of hardening techniques to ensure they are the sharpest and most durable cutting blades available. The VS series have a unique single hand locking system, the secateurs will simply unlock with a squeeze of the handles. Feature die-cast aluminium handles with a comfortable rubber coating grip. Available in 3 sizes for small, regular and large hands. This model is the 8″ medium.
