ARS Bypass Pruning Shears VS-9Z 9-Inch / Total Length & Blade: 227mm/60mm / Weight: 250g | High-Carbon Japanese Tool Steel [High-Tech Manufacturing Plant/ Extended 9-Inch Frame｝

Description

Engineered in Sakai, Osaka—Japan’s legendary cutlery region—by ARS Corporation (est. 1876), the VS-9Z Professional Bypass Pruning Shear (9-Inch) is an extended, heavy-duty pruning tool designed for tackling thicker limbs and larger hands with maximum leverage.

Measuring 227mm in total length, the VS-9Z features an extra-wide blade jaw opening that allows operators to easily capture and cut through heavy branches that standard 8-inch shears struggle to grip. Its specially contoured ergonomic non-slip grip prevents the hand from sliding forward during high-force cuts, distributing squeezing pressure evenly to minimize strain over long shifts.

Forged from premium Japanese High-Carbon Tool Steel, the blade is finished with ARS’s signature Hard Chrome Plating for extreme surface hardness, high rust protection, and effortless sap (Yani) cleanup. Equipped with an internal recoil shock-absorbing cushion to safeguard wrist joints from cut impact, a single-handed one-touch safety lock, and a replaceable blade mechanics (Kae-ba), the VS-9Z is the ultimate power-oriented shear for commercial orchardists, arborists, and landscapers.
