Deal Details
The rather ubiquitous and often copied Swiss-made Felco F2s are regarded as the standard bearer among hand pruners, but their prices have mostly been north of $50 as of late (currently selling for about $59 on Amazon). These Japanese-made ARS pruners have been reviewed as good or better than the Felco F2s. See this rather gushing NYT WireCutter review [nytimes.com] if you're interested. They normally sell for around $38 - $40, so this is a very good price at less than $32.

Genuine ARS pruners are of excellent quality but there are many sellers on Amazon which are selling knock offs. Make sure you check to see if they are authentic when you receive them.

I've got a set of these pruners and they are fantastic. They are at least 8 years old but look almost new. No rust or wear. They sharpen easily and hold their edge.

They should arrive in retail packaging. If they don't, it's probably counterfeit.
