ARS 120DX pruning shears
ARS 120DX pruning shears – universal grip, 22 mm cutting capacity
Who are they for?
This model is for anyone who would rather not pick a tool by hand size. The 195 mm universal grip suits practically every palm. The 49 mm blade and 22 mm cutting capacity are more than enough for the annual pruning of roses, vines and fruit trees.
Material and technology
The blade is hard chrome-plated high-carbon steel. That combination is what gives ARS tools their characteristic service life and corrosion resistance. The ribbed, non-slip plastic handle keeps its grip in wet and muddy conditions.
If you need a different size or cutting action
For smaller hands the ARS 130DX series is available in six colours. For precise rose pruning the ARS 120EU-R is built with a serrated counter blade. For professional daily use, the VS series shears carry the KWF Profi quality mark.

Frequently asked questions
How thick a branch will the ARS 120DX cut?
The blade cuts cleanly up to 22 mm in diameter, which covers most rose and shrub pruning.
Are they suitable for small hands?
The 120DX is universal, but for distinctly smaller hands the ARS 130DX series is likely to be more comfortable.
How do I sharpen the blade?
It sharpens easily at home if you keep to the factory bevel angle. The ARS SD-100-BT sharpener is made for the job.
The ARS 120DX pruning shears are built for universal hand sizes, with a 195 mm overall length and a cutting capacity of up to 22 mm. Ideal for regular pruning of roses, shrubs and thinner fruit-tree branches. The hard chrome-plated, high-carbon steel blade holds its edge, and the open spring design stops debris from building up. For smaller hands the ARS 130DX series may be more comfortable.
High Carbon Steel
Carbon steel is sharp, wear-resistant and easy to sharpen. It offers great precision and durability, ideal for professional pruning. Regular maintenance greatly extends its lifespan.
Hard Chrome Coating
Hard chrome-plated blades offer extra protection against rust and wear. The smooth surface resists plant sap and retains its sharpness for longer. Designed for heavy-duty use.
For All Hand Sizes
A universal design that fits all hand sizes excellently. An ideal choice for shared family use or professional work. Perfect weight distribution and a stable grip provide maximum comfort even during long-term, heavy-duty use.
