ARS

ARS Secateurs and Pole Pruners for Arborists

ARS has been manufacturing cutting tools in Japan since 1876 and is one of the most popular brands among professional arborists in Sweden. The steel is hardened to keep the edge sharp for a long time, and most models can be resharpened and rebuilt with spare parts. This makes ARS tools something you buy once and use for many years instead of replacing them every season.

Secateurs

Our best-selling model is the ARS Pro Secateur, a robust bypass secateur for thicker branches and daily production. It has a replaceable blade and an ergonomic handle that reduces strain when making many cuts in a row. If you want to keep the tool in your harness, a holster for ARS secateurs is available.

Pole Pruners

For pruning from the ground, we have two strong choices. The Helium Pole Pruner is extremely lightweight and suitable for long work sessions in the canopy. The Telescopic Pole Pruner reaches higher branches without you needing to climb, and its length can be adjusted steplessly according to the tree you are working on. For the telescopic model, there is a matching holster that protects the blade during transport.

Sharpening and Maintenance

A sharp edge provides a clean cut and is kinder to the tree. With the ARS retractable diamond sharpener, you can touch up the edge directly in the field, and ARS cleaning fluid dissolves resin and sap so that the mechanism runs smoothly. A little maintenance after each workday significantly extends the lifespan.

How to Choose the Right ARS Tool

If you primarily work in the canopy with your harness on, you'll want a lightweight secateur like the ARS Pro plus a holster. If you prune from the ground, the working height will guide your choice between the Helium and telescopic models. Regardless of the model, replacement blades, springs, and holsters are in stock, which keeps down the total cost over the tool's lifetime. All ARS products at Arboristbutiken are shipped quickly, and you can reach us if you need help choosing the right model for your work.
