Buyers beware. Twice I received a different (cheaper) model than the one pictured and paid for. This company is substituting #HP-130DX with a coil spring for this model with the V spring.

This review is from: ARS 120DX 8-Inch Precision Pocket Secateur Heavy Duty Pruner (Lawn & Patio)

ARS has a good reputation for quality pruners. I had one pair that were the best ever. This new model is not as good as the heavy duty pair that I used to have. It is good for light pruning of roses and bushes but I would not recommend it for canes thicker than 1/2 inch. I am still testing my 120DX model. I wish I could review the pruners in another month to see how I did pruning 1200 rose pushes, 50 fruit trees, and 25 grapevines.

A word of caution... Make sure that you buy the pruners directly from Amazon as one of the Amazon Warehouse sellers substituted the cheaper 130 pruners for the real 120DX model.

5.0 out of 5 stars razor sharp; cuts through remarkably thick live branches, July 6, 2011

These are razor sharp and cut through remarkably thick branches as long as they are live. The point is so sharp, however, that they are difficult simply to toss into a pocket. I suppose that they are made for serious gardeners who always have a holster.
