Our best selling hand pruner and the best pruners I've ever used.  These are the highest quality, easiest to use, and sharpest pruners of all the hand pruners I've tried, and I've tried basically every brand. 

The quality and craftsmanship of these pruners is simply outstanding, and they make large pruning jobs or simply breaking down small branches easy.  Pruners are my #1 most used garden tool, and I highly recommend purchasing a quality pair. I used cheap $20 pruners for years before I upgraded, and my joints regret not making the switch much earlier.

ARS Garden Tools are Made in Japan and the best manufactured gardening tools around.  Ever since I used an ARS pruner, I haven't looked back.  Aside from the premium Tobisho hand pruners I offer, these are the best around for a reasonable price.

Add-on the Leather Sheath with your order for a convenient way to carry your pruner.

ARS pruners are super sharp, comfortable to hold, and hold their edge for seasons and seasons.  The handles are made of thick high quality cast aluminum with a non-slip coating of smooth plastic for greater durability and comfort. These pruners are lightweight and perfectly balanced to allow all day use with minimal strain and fatigue. The blades are hard chrome plated for greater hardness and rust and sap resistance. The blades are offset at an angle to maintain natural hand strength and can be re-sharpened or replaced.

If you ever do wear the blade down, you can re-sharpen it or buy a replacement blade (I'll have those available soon too).

One of my favorite features of this pruner is the quick-release locking mechanism.  Simply squeeze the handles and the lock will release so you can start pruning.  To re-lock, squeeze the handles and push the lock back in place with your thumb.  Super convenient and reliable.

Available in three sizes:

- VS7XZ is 7" from tip to toe and for smaller hands
- VS8XZ is 8" from tip to toe and for medium size hands
- VS9XZ is 9" from tip to toe and for larger hands

These loppers are truly incredible.  The aluminum handles make the entire tool very light, even with the long-reach 30" handles.  The blade, just like the ARS hand pruner, is scary sharp and cuts through up to 1.5" diameter branches with ease.

----

Incredible cutting performance! These loppers are impressive in every aspect - from the optimized blade to the heavy duty handles. The precision ground blades are made from non-stick coated high carbon tool steel. The counter blade is fully forged and stepped to minimize friction and clogging. A special guide bank prevents the cutting blade from biting askew into the work. The handles are super lightweight made from durable heavy duty aluminum. The improved shock absorbers take the brunt of the force for incredible comfort.

Make easy work of heavy pruning work with this folding ARS pruning saw.  Easy saws through branches several inches thick and folds up in into a small convenient size.

The curved handle fits comfortably in the hand and has a rubber coating for continued heavy sawing. The saw features a Marquench hardened, precision ground, high carbon tool steel blade for improved sharpness and durability. The blade is hard chrome plated for rust and sap resistance.

Hori-Hori means “dig-dig”! These knives are multipurpose – weed, plant, divide perennials, even cut sod. They are beveled for shoveling and have a serrated edge for sawing. The blade is marked for depth measurement for easy planting. This tool has become a favorite amongst Master Gardeners! Reinforced vinyl sheath included.

Made in JAPAN.

Features:

• 7" Stainless Steel or Carbon Steel blade
• Blade is beveled for shoveling

This harvesting sickle features a serrated edge ideal for cutting grasses, harvesting leafy plants, or cutting back seeds. Specially made to cut through tough grasses like Liriope (Monkey Grass). American Magnolia hardwood handle for extra strength. The blade is made from special high carbon stainless steel (V-gold-1) and heat treated to a hardness of RC58-62 to hold the razor sharp edges longer.

As taken from Farmer Rishi's website:

Knives are such a primal tool for me, and I am a bit obsessed with the craftsmanship and quality of a good blade.  I've been searching for a knife that really sings to me and provides the ease-of-use and functionality I want for a long time.  I stumbled upon the knives of Hiroaki Ohta in this search, and after ordering one for myself, I am now convinced this is the knife I've been looking for.

Ohta's knives are simple, elegant, and supremely effective.  These FK series knives are based on a Japanese military knife design called Higonokami, and have been updated with quality hardwoods and modern steel.  These knives consist of just three pieces: the solid wood handle, the hinge, and the blade.

The knife is an old-school "friction folder," meaning their is no mechanism that holds the blade closed or open.  To use the knife, you press down on the tab on the end of the blade with your thumb, and hold the tab down to prevent it from closing.

For these custom ordered knives, I've chosen an extremely dense, resilient and American native wood for the handles: Desert Ironwood.  Did I mention its stammeringly beautiful? 

The blades are made from D2 steel which is a tough, easy to sharpen, rust resistant steel.

3 sizes are available

My absolute favorite watering wand for seedlings.  I tried several other watering wands and nozzles for watering seedlings before I found the Wonder Waterer.  The spray it produces is super fine and comes out very soft.  Even at full pressure, the gentle spray won't damage young seedlings, and soaks soil in small pots or plug trays really well.  A must have for anyone starting seeds at home or the small farmer.

I carry only the Wonder Waterer Gold, which comes with a BRASS shut-off valve that's super easy to turn on and off with just your thumb and lasts for years and years.

Our terracotta watering spikes, crafted from high-quality clay, conveniently seep water as soil dries out. The damper the soil, the slower the water flow. This plant watering device lets physics do the hard work, dousing your plants with just the right amount of water.

Designed to be used with a upside wine bottle, each stake measures 2.0 x 2.0 x 6.8 inches. Soak the self-watering stakes then place the stakes deep in the dirt, with the openings level with the surface. Avoid pushing too hard to prevent breakage. Fill a wine bottle with water, then place upside down into the opening of the stake.

These flower friends work with long-necked bottles, like vino vessels, but any tall container – glass, plastic, metal – should do the job as long as it doesn't tip over. For little pots, you can use mini beer bottles or regular-sized wine bottles. Like a guardian angel for your garden, these watering spikes make watering container plants easy and efficient.

• Great for watering containers, plants and shrubbery.
• Allows complete and total water flow control with just one touch of your thumb.
• The corrosion proof head creates a precise and gentle water pattern that won't  harm delicate plants and seedling.

• Digging Forks are used to dig up bulbs and root vegetables every year. Other annual tasks include turning the soil in our beds, turning compost, and pitching waste. We also like to use them to aerate around the bases of shrubs and perennials prior to spring and fall fertilizing. The Radius PRO Digging Fork combines a traditional, stainless steel blade design with our patented, Natural Radius Grip for an outstanding user experience.
• Blade Length = 11.5", Blade Width = 7", Total Length = 42.5", Weight: 5 lbs. 2 oz., Material: Stainless steel blade, polypropylene encased carbon steel shaft, and thermoplastic elastomer grip.

• Choker loop-style trap quickly and effectively eliminates gophers
• Weather-resistant plastic and steel can be used in all soil types
• Moving parts are below ground away from children and pets
