ARS Signature Series V-8 Bypass Pruners

The bypass mechanism works like a pair of scissors, where two blades slide past each other to make a clean, precise cut. This is ideal for live, green stems because it minimizes bruising and promotes faster healing for the plant.

Yes, the blades on the ARS Signature Series V-8 are replaceable. This design choice extends the overall lifespan of the tool, allowing you to maintain peak cutting performance without needing to purchase an entirely new pair.

The short head design is specifically engineered for better maneuverability. It allows you to reach into tighter spaces and make precise cuts in dense foliage where a longer, bulkier pruner might struggle.

The ARS V-8 is designed with an ergonomic, lightweight profile that makes it comfortable for a wide range of hand sizes. At only 8 ounces, it is built to reduce hand fatigue during extended pruning sessions.

The Cut & Hold feature is designed to grip the stem after you have made the cut. This is particularly useful when pruning roses or thorny shrubs, as it prevents the cut material from falling into the plant or onto the ground, keeping your workspace cleaner and safer.
