The STIHL HLA 56 is the ideal choice for trimming taller hedges and shrubs around your garden. This lightweight, well‑balanced cordless long‑reach hedge trimmer features double‑edged, droplet‑shaped blades that help guide branches into the cutting teeth, delivering a clean, precise finish every time.
The adjustable cutting head can be set anywhere between –45° and +90°, making it easy to reach awkward angles and high sections without straining. For added convenience, the HLA 56 includes a detachable shaft for simple transport and storage, along with a wall‑mounting bracket to keep things tidy.
As part of the STIHL AK System, the HLA 56 uses an interchangeable battery that also powers a range of other tools, including grass trimmers, blowers, lawn mowers, and chainsaws—giving you excellent versatility across your garden equipment. Carrying length: 115 cm.
Please note: The HLA 56 is not compatible with Kombi attachments, the HTA 50 pole pruner, RTS harness, or the HTA 50 shaft extension.
