STIHL's HLA 56 long reach hedge trimmer is battery-operated and is part of their versatile AK System, which utilises one interchangeable battery for a whole range of garden power tools. The long-reach hedge trimmer allows for the cutting and maintenance of taller shrubs and hedges in domestic gardens. The head can be adjusted from -45º to +90º for trimming the majority of hedges with ease.

Not just your ordinary hedge trimmer blade

The double-sided 45 cm blade is diamond ground for a precise cut every time. It also boasts a tip protector to prevent damage when trimming near the ground and along walls, as well as integrated cut protection to reduce the risk of the blade making contact with the users leg.

Despite its length, transport and storage is a breeze

Although the machine is 210 cm long when built, it can easily be split into 2 pieces - the blades and the power unit - with then the longest item measuring just 115 cm, enabling you to transport and store the hedge trimmer away with ease. A wall bracket is included to hold the 3 individual pieces, for a convenient storage solution. You also have the option to extend the length of the hedge cutter an extra 50cm with the addition of the extension shaft (sold separately)

Recommended with AK20 battery and AL101 standard charger.

The AK 20 battery will run for up to 100 minutes or cut up to 380m2 of hedge with one full charge. The recommended charger is the AL 101 standard charger, which will restore the AK 20 battery to full power in 180 minutes, and has a useful LED indicator, a velcro strap for containing the electrical cable, and it can be wall mounted if desired.
