KR1000 Ultra Light Professional Hedge Shears

The ARS KR1000 Ultra Light Professional Hedge Shears are multi-purpose garden shears designed for demanding trimming and cutting tasks. Manufactured by garden tool specialists ARS, these professional-grade shears combine lightweight construction with robust blade engineering to deliver versatile performance across a range of applications, from hedge trimming and lawn edging to precision topiary work. The shears feature corrosion-resistant, hard chrome plated high carbon steel blades that are 2mm wider than the previous model, providing enhanced strength and durability for prolonged use. The blade design incorporates a slight curve along with curved handles to create an optimised cutting angle, whilst a large fixing screw holds the blade assembly together for exceptional durability. At 3.8mm thick with a 180mm cutting length, the blades can tackle branches up to 10mm in diameter and are fully replaceable when wear eventually occurs. A key advantage of the KR1000 is its ultra-low density composite handle construction, which significantly reduces overall weight to just 780g whilst maintaining structural integrity. This lightweight design, combined with advanced ergonomic shaping and enlarged shock absorbers, enables comfortable, fatigue-free operation even during extended cutting sessions. The 653mm overall length provides excellent reach and leverage without compromising manoeuvrability, making these shears ideal for professional groundskeepers, landscapers, and serious gardeners requiring reliable, long-lasting cutting tools.
