STIHL Hedge Trimmers HLA 56: Unit Only

2025 STIHL Hedge Trimmers HLA 56

Tackle tall hedges and shrubs like a pro with this extended-reach hedge trimmer with articulating 135° cutting blade.

The STIHL HLA 56 is the first extended-reach hedge trimmer within the AK System. Powered by the same 36-volt lithium-ion battery as other products within the AK System, this hedge trimmer provides homeowners with more versatility by combining the benefits of a battery-powered product with the ability to accomplish difficult trimming tasks. A high cutting speed of 2,800 strokes per minute allows for clean and efficient cutting, even when dealing with larger branches. At 11.1 pounds (with AK 20 battery) and with an articulating cutting blade offering a 135-degree range, the HLA 56 leverages optimal cutting performance with the lightweight portability needed to get the job done.

Features may include:

• The STIHL Inc. “Caring for Nature” seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines “low exhaust emissions” as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.

• The housing has smooth surfaces and round contours that help to keep it from getting caught on branches during use. The design also makes cleaning easy.

• The built-in hanging slot allows for easy storage when not in use.

• The blade cover helps protect the cutting blade during storage and transport.

• The tip protector makes cutting near the ground or along walls easier while protecting the trimmer’s cutters from damage.
