Know before you buy
The ARS 160Z2.0-3D is designed for light pruning tasks with a maximum cutting capacity of 3/8 inch (9.5mm).
The pruner features a specialized mechanism that grips the stem of the branch as you make the cut. This allows you to remove the pruned branch from the tree without it falling into your garden or getting stuck in the canopy.
Weighing just 1.94 lbs, this pruner is designed to be lightweight and manageable. However, because it extends up to 6.5 feet, you may notice more leverage strain when working at its maximum length.
Yes, the pruner includes a revolving arm feature. This allows you to rotate the cutting head to better align with branches in tight or difficult-to-reach positions.
The hard chrome finish provides a rust-resistant, non-stick surface that is highly durable. It helps the blades glide through stems easily and makes cleaning off sap or debris much simpler.
