"I am completely satisfied with my ARS VS-8XZ. It fits well in the hand and requires less force, while cutting thicker branches and providing cleaner cuts. It is childishly simple to open and close and requires no blade changes or adjustments. Furthermore, I no longer have the annoying, self-closing clasp found on my old pruner."
