ARS Pruning Shears VS-8Z (VS-8 Series)

Cutting Capacity: approx. 15 mm | Made in Japan The ARS VS-8Z Pruning Shears are professional-grade Japanese secateurs designed for clean, precise cutting of fresh (live) branches. Manufactured by ARS Corporation, this model combines sharpness, durability, and ergonomic comfort for reliable daily use in gardening, landscaping, and orchard work. The blade is made from high-carbon knife steel with a hard chrome finish, providing excellent sharpness, wear resistance, and smooth cutting performance. With a cutting capacity of up to 15 mm, the VS-8Z easily handles live wood pruning with minimal effort.
