As with the other heavy duty ARS bypass pruners we carry, the locking latch can be released with a squeeze of the handles enabling single-handed operation.  Like the other ARS hand pruners, these are lightweight and balanced to improve their efficiency making the work less fatiguing over time. This version has a locking plate around the back of the center-bolt to maintain optimal torque for cutting. \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMarquench hardened high carbon steel blade is precision ground for durable cutting performance. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotating handle grip to reduce fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome plating increases ease of cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2\" curved blade has 5\/8\" cutting capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-slip coating increases ergonomics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplaceable blades can be re-sharpened\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull length: 8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 8 oz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style='font-family: \"Times New Roman\";'\u003eARS is a Japanese company that is well known in the gardening community and has been making tools since 1876.
