A very good pruner at a good price, better than Felco 2, IMO.

    Ars tools are brilliant.

    Very good deal.

    • truetypezk on 27/05/2023 - 12:02

      Havent heard of this brand before, is it comparable with the Felco pruners? I know that some good Japanese knives/shears brands are a bit of a niche in the international market.

      • montorola on 27/05/2023 - 12:39
        +2

        Apparently the reviews on Amazon say they're better than Felco

        • truetypezk on 27/05/2023 - 12:44
          +2

          Well I guess in that case it worths a try for just $30+, basically the cost of a pair of crappy no name pruners at Bunnings.

      • boomramada on 27/05/2023 - 12:59

        I don't know about this but for me Felco isn't worth $100, compared to $30 pruners which I also got from bunnings. Maybe they were good decades ago, now others catched up on quality.

        • truetypezk on 27/05/2023 - 13:39

          I think Felco is good in its extensive range catering to different hand sizes and the rotating handle on certain models is also pretty neat. Absolutely not the best value for money, but a time saver knowing you will be getting a good pair of pruners without having to read reviews and risk with less well known brands.

        I run a garden business. All our hand tools are ARS.
        Top quality and good value. I've been using them for years.

    • Spamazon on 27/05/2023 - 19:08

      Up the Ars!

    Thanks! Thought they were OOS already but it was hiding under the “See All Buying Options” button.
    Cheers.

      It's been this way for all of the Amazon JP items. Keep refreshing, going back and forth and it should appear again. Something very strange is going on with all of the links from Japan.

    Is it good enough for bamboo

    • boretentsu on 27/05/2023 - 16:48

      As a person that pruned a 3x2 clump, I would advise against using non-powered tools. The time you save will be more than worth it.

  • jbj123 on 27/05/2023 - 09:12

    I paid $86 for these earlier in the year. Don’t think twice, fantastic tools that should last for life and fully repairable. If you buy two, you can use one for spare parts.

    The 8Z is for normal sized hands so likely the best bet for most.

  • superforever on 27/05/2023 - 09:16

    Said OOS and refresh and OK and bought it.

  • he88388 on 27/05/2023 - 09:36

    I bought 2 after seeing it back in stock.

    • superforever on 27/05/2023 - 09:44

      For some reason keep refreshing it will come back.

  • Yola on 27/05/2023 - 10:01

    • johnny1983 on 27/05/2023 - 10:41

      Also cleaned up buying their scissors and fruit pruners. Wont be long before Japanese, Swiss and German made garden tools become history

      • SpainKing on 27/05/2023 - 15:44

        Why are they going to become history?

        • gakko on 27/05/2023 - 18:42

          They won't. There is always going to be a market for quality.

        Thank you! Managed to order the VS8Z model too now after I saw your comment.

  • croc330 on 27/05/2023 - 10:30

    Thanks for that… ordered one. Likely a bit cheaper than replacement blades for the venerable old felco.

    Time will tell.

      Prime already have free shipping for me.

      • Hamish125 on 27/05/2023 - 12:05

        My bad - should have mentioned I didn’t have prime. Amazon want $10 a month now to sign back up… used to be 6 or 7!

    Didnt need the gardening gear but searched the brand and found this set of general purpose indoor snips: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B001VB1IPI/ref=ppx_yo_d… great deal perhaps? Got some.

    • mogley on 27/05/2023 - 13:01

    I haven't touched my garden for months, but now suddenly found myself spending my Saturday morning busy researching and buying ARS gardening tools.

    Edited:
    And now the Bosch stuff as well.

  • Lord Ra on 27/05/2023 - 12:51

    I already have the Bosch but at this price… I may get into trouble.

    • gamerkonks on 27/05/2023 - 14:08

      Hmm, that or a ratchet or geared lopper?

  • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2023 - 13:09

    We use f2 daily and a quick spritz with Stihl superclean keeps them in good shape for a very very long time.

  • XXRydeR on 27/05/2023 - 13:34

    Can't seem to get the ARS HP-VS7Z to come up for that price. Maybe out of stock?

    Clicking see all buying options shows them from $103 plus shipping?

    Anyone else manage to grab them?

    No issues with the ARS HP-VS8Z though.

    • viirgon on 27/05/2023 - 13:47

      I managed to get one for the wife before it went out of stock it seems.

  • Radial7 on 27/05/2023 - 13:38

    Been trying for a while for the ARS HP-VS7Z with no success, most likely out of stock

    • XXRydeR on 27/05/2023 - 13:56

      Good to know it's not just me then, looks like I'm getting the ARS HP-VS8Z in that case.

  • bidoof on 27/05/2023 - 14:18

    The 7" model is now OOS on amazon japan (you can check by changing the url from .com.au to .co.jp and setting a japanese delivery postcode (like 100-0004).

  • Thinkswithelbow on 27/05/2023 - 14:19

    What's the difference between the two?

    • XXRydeR on 27/05/2023 - 14:36

      One pair is more compact than the other. Pretty much it.

      I wanted the smaller size so both myself and the Mrs can use them.

      • Thinkswithelbow on 27/05/2023 - 18:58

        Got it. Just ordered the only one available which is the big one. Hopefully not too big

    FYI, the ARS HP-VS8Z drops the price to $32.39. After I added it to the cart and checkout, and want to update the post, the Amazon JP's $32.39 option disappeared. I keep the post as is, but OzBargainers can keep coming back and check, as the Amazon JP listing comes and goes intermittently.

  • havebeerbelywillsumo on 27/05/2023 - 18:12

    Confusing??? 8"inch seems to be available at a very very slightly cheaper price, purchased just now and received email confirmation of order placed (didn't try for 7" once 8" inch immediately came up) - nil delivery for Prime member confirmed

  • Eat2much on 28/05/2023 - 07:32

    Does anyone know good sharpener for those tools?

    • OZKap on 28/05/2023 - 07:38

      This one from felco is excellent, but fairly expensive at $42, I've seen it for as little as $30. https://www.amazon.com.au/Sharpener-Diamond-Hardened-Sharpen…

      I've been using it for 2-3 years with no change in effectiveness. If you do go for something cheaper, stay away from the carbide pull-through style, they're too aggressive at removing material.

      • Eat2much on 28/05/2023 - 09:01
