STIHL HLA 56 Cordless Long-reach Hedge Trimmer (Kit)

Tackle Tall Hedges Comfortably: The STIHL HLA 56 Cordless Long Reach Hedge Trimmer

Trimming high hedges and dense shrubbery doesn’t have to be a juggling act with ladders and cables. The STIHL HLA 56 Cordless Long Reach Hedge Trimmer offers a smarter, safer way to maintain tall hedge growth. Lightweight, quiet, and easy to control, this battery-powered extended hedge trimmer is a brilliant match for domestic users who want professional-looking results. It combines an intuitive design with expert German engineering to simplify even the most awkward hedge trimming tasks.

Supplied as a Complete Kit for Your Convenience

This version of the STIHL HLA 56 comes as a full kit, meaning you’ll receive the hedge trimmer, an AK 20 battery and AL 101 charger in the box. With the battery installed, you’ll get around 100 minutes of operating time—more than enough for routine hedge care in most gardens. Recharging is hassle-free, taking roughly 180 minutes. And because the AK 20 belongs to STIHL’s AK battery system, it can be shared with compatible tools right across the range, saving you money and storage space over the longer term.

Extend Your Reach Without Straining

Measuring 210cm in length, the STIHL HLA 56 hedge trimmer makes it easy to cut taller hedges and hard-to-reach areas from the ground. Despite its generous length, this hedgecutter remains light at just 3.8kg (excluding the battery) and is well balanced to reduce fatigue during use. The 45cm double-sided blade features specially shaped cutters and 30mm tooth spacing, drawing in branches to produce a clean, uniform finish.

Tilt the Head for Angled Cutting

One of the best features of the STIHL hedge trimmer HLA 56 is its adjustable head, which you can pivot between -45° and +90° without the need for tools. Whether you’re trimming vertical surfaces, reaching under low overhangs, or flattening the tops of tall hedges, this adjustable mechanism helps you cut from a comfortable position without twisting your body. It’s a flexible system that will make your work far easier and less tiring.

Comfortable Handling and Smooth Controls

Handling the HLA 56 Cordless Long Reach Hedge Trimmer is effortless thanks to its ergonomically designed loop handle, which offers precise control even in narrow or awkward spaces. Starting the tool is quick and intuitive—there’s no cord to worry about and no fuel to prepare. A safety switch prevents unintentional activation, while the self-resetting ERGO lever ensures continuous cutting with minimal interruption. Together, these features create a tool that’s both secure and satisfying to use.

Reliable Performance with Minimal Noise

The STIHL HLA 56 battery long reach hedgecutter delivers consistent cutting power right up until the battery is spent, with a rated output of 0.21kW. It’s a great option for noise-sensitive neighbourhoods, producing just 77dB(A), while the low vibration levels of 1.5m/s² ensure it remains comfortable for extended trimming jobs. A protective guard at the tip of the blade allows you to trim right up to walls, fences, or the edges of patios without causing accidental damage to the blades or your surroundings.

Convenient Storage and Transport

After use, the detachable shaft allows you to break this tool down for easy transportation and storage. STIHL includes a wall-mounted bracket with the kit, so you can store the trimmer off the floor and keep your workspace tidy.

Expandable System for Future Gardening Tasks

Purchasing the STIHL HLA 56 with battery and charger is a smart long-term investment in your garden tool collection. The included AK 20 battery works with other STIHL AK System products, such as blowers, mowers, and chainsaws—allowing you to build a reliable, cordless toolkit around one power source.
