Product Details:
Product Type: Cordless Long Reach Hedge trimmer
Power Source: STIHL AK System battery
Head Type: Articulating long reach
Operation: Cordless electric
Application: Hedge and shrub trimming
Why Choose This Hedge Trimmer:
The STIHL HLA56 Cordless Long Reach Hedge Trimmer offers a practical, user-friendly solution for maintaining taller hedges with ease and safety. Its lightweight design, adjustable cutting head and quiet cordless operation make it ideal for domestic users who want professional-looking results without the complexity of petrol tools. Fully compatible with the STIHL AK system, it delivers convenience, reliability and excellent cutting performance.
Working at height with a traditional hedge trimmer can be tiring, time consuming and dangerous if full safety precautions are not taken. For the small to medium sized garden, help is at hand to tame those taller and wider hedges and bushes thanks to the STIHL HLA56 cordless long reach hedge trimmer.
With an overall length of 210cm, reaching up the sides of a tall hedge and across wider hedges is much easier with the HLA56 than a traditional hedge trimmer. The cutter head easily articulates through 135 degrees between plus 90 degrees and minus 45 degrees allowing you to select the perfect working angles for horizontal and vertical trimming.
The cutting length is 45cm and the blade is double sided allowing you to cut with up/down and left/right strokes. The tooth spacing is 30mm and teardrop shaped blade tips help guide the branches into the blades for a clean cut.
The cutter head is removable to reduce the storage and transportation length to 115cm. Where the shaft splits, an optional 50cm extension shaft is also available for a little extra reach.

- AK10 - up to 50 minutes
