ARS Japanese made shears are some of the very best available, especially for precision topiary and shaping work. These new KR1000 shears replace the ARS K1000, K1000L and K1100 shears and are even better than these previous models. They are lightweight and perfectly balanced for maximum comfort. The blades are very sharp and hard chrome plated carbon steel that doesn't rust. The handles are diecast aluminium for both strength and reduced weight and are fitted with shock absorbers.
