ARS pruning shears holster – protects the blade, keeps the tool to hand

A chipped cutting edge cannot be fixed by simple sharpening: the missing material has to be made up, which changes the geometry of the blade. Preventing the damage is considerably cheaper. If the blade is already damaged, you will find replacements in the blades and saw blades category.
Also available in packages
For the VS series, the holster is available together with the ARS GO-1 blade cleaner blade cleaner in a package that covers the full daily maintenance routine. See the sets in the pruning shears packages category.
Other accessories
Beyond a holster, what extends the life of a tool is regular cleaning and sharpening. That is what the blade cleaner and sharpening categories are for.
