The STIHL HLA56 Cordless Long Reach Hedge Trimmer Set offers an excellent balance of convenience, performance and reach for garden hedge maintenance. Its cordless design lets you work freely without cables, while the long reach shaft helps you trim taller hedges safely and efficiently from the ground. With clean, precise cutting blades and comfortable handling, this set is perfect for homeowners wanting a reliable and easy-to-use cordless hedge trimmer with extended capability.
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.
Battery Information:
The recommended battery for this product is the AK20, which provides up to 100 minutes of run time. As part of the STIHL AK System, the HLA56 is compatible with a selected range of AK batteries. Maximum working times are:
The blade tip protector minimises the possibility of damage to the blades when cutting close to walls, paths and other hard surfaces. Teardrop shaped blade tips help guide branches into the blades for a clean cut.
The cutter head is easily articulated to allow you to select the perfect angles for vertical and horizontal trimming.
The cutter head can be detached from the shaft for ease of storage and transportation. Simply undo the locking wheel to release the clamping mechanism. An optional extension shaft can also be fitted for extra reach.
