The STIHL HSA 86 Cordless Hedgetrimmer is a practical, convenient and hassle-free alternative to a noisy, dirty and maintenance-heavy petrol-powered machine.

It’s equipped with a set of high-grade 45cm blades that combine an extra-wide 33cm tooth-gap with super-sharp double-edged teeth and a rapid stroke-rate to ensure large-diameter twigs are cut cleanly without being twisted or chewed.

A blade-tip protector prevents damage when working next walls and other hard surfaces; while a scabbard prevents moisture-damage during storage (a hanging-eye allows it to be wall-mounted).

The STIHL HSA 86 Cordless Hedgetrimmer is powered by a very high-performance 36v lithium-ion battery that produces a huge 178Wh; and which won’t give you any of the memory-effect or self-discharge problems associated with lower-spec battery-types (two batteries included).

A smooth, contoured body ensures it’s easy to keep clean and won’t get tangled in the hedge; while a weight of just 3kg means gardeners of any age or build can work in comfort.
