ARS makes several pairs of scissors that appear quite similar but are, in fact, quite different upon close inspection. Also, ARS does not identify their scissors with any product code.

When I made my purchase I already had a pair of ARS scissors (with orange handles) which I wanted to replace. I thought I wanted the ARS Bonsai scissors until I noticed that the 330H scissor in the Amazon ad were the only ones with orange handles. With no product numbers of my own I ordered the orange handled scissors.

When the scissors arrived I immediately noticed that the scissors did not have orange handles and the scissors blades were not as narrow as the scissors I already had - and the vendor catalog that came with the order showed the 330H scissors were available in four colors but none of them were orange.

Thus, I have concluded that Amazon's confusion in placement of the pictures accompanying the various ARS scissors in the Amazon ad led me to purchase scissors I did not want.

So, if a correct photo of the 330H had been shown when I made my purchase, I would have ordered the bonsai scissors as I originally intended. As it turned out I had to absorb $9.50 in shipping charges to receive the faulty scissors plus pay an additional $3.50 in shipping to return the scissors to the supplier.

I buy these scissors for 18 technicians to use where I work. We work in the flower research and development industry and these scissors are perfect for working on flowers used for breeding. The long "nose" on these scissors allow for getting into tight areas of a plant. I highly recommend ARS scissors for all your scissor needs. ARS makes all sizes and styles of scissors.
