STIHL HTA 66 Cordless Pole Saw (Shell Only)

STIHL HTA 66 Cordless Pole Saw: Professional Pruning Made Easy

Caring for tall trees usually means tackling jobs well above shoulder height, which can be awkward, unsafe, and tiring without the right equipment. The STIHL HTA 66 Cordless Pole Saw has been developed to solve exactly these challenges. Designed as part of STIHL’s powerful AP System of professional tools, this premium pruner combines the cutting strength you’d expect from a petrol STIHL pole cutter with the quiet convenience of advanced battery technology. For arborists, landscapers, and homeowners who want professional standards of pruning, this STIHL pole saw is a safe and reliable way to trim branches without the hassle of ladders.

Lightweight Handling with Extended Reach

Reaching branches at height is made straightforward thanks to the HTA 66’s fixed shaft, giving it a total length of 240 cm. Despite offering such reach, this STIHL tree pole saw weighs only 3.3 kg without its battery, which means you can work well above shoulder height without unnecessary strain. A carefully balanced design ensures the STIHL pole saw pole sits comfortably in your hands, with intelligent battery placement contributing to smooth weight distribution. A soft-grip handle further supports the tool’s excellent ergonomics, giving you the ability to manoeuvre it securely even during longer pruning jobs.

Quiet and Efficient Motor Performance

The HTA66 STIHL cordless pole pruner’s EC motor delivers the brute cutting force needed for demanding tasks while remaining extremely efficient and durable. With a rated output of 1.1hp (0.85 kW), this STIHL cordless pole saw provides more than enough strength for trimming thicker branches, while operating at sound levels of just 78 dB(A) at the user’s ear. Vibrations are kept to a very low 1 m/s², which makes pruning comfortable even when operating the pruner for long periods of time. This quiet, low-vibration motor means the HTA 66 STIHL tree pruner can easily be used in residential or noise-sensitive areas without disruption.

Precision Bar and Chain Technology

This cordless STIHL electric pole pruner pairs a 10-inch (25 cm) guide bar with a ¼” PM3 chain designed for neat, controlled cuts. The chain ensures every cut is smooth, helping trees recover quickly and reducing the risk of damage. Maintenance is simple thanks to side-mounted chain tensioning, with a captive nut on the sprocket cover. Together, these details make the HTA66 STIHL chainsaw pole pruner straightforward to adjust and reliable in performance.

Simple and Safe to Use

Other practical controls make the HTA 66 pole pruner even more user-friendly. The ERGO lever allows for long periods of cutting without repeated restarting, while a self-resetting locking system prevents unintended activation. Both right- and left-handed operators will find the design intuitive. This thoughtful approach to control makes the HTA 66 one of the most popular STIHL power pole pruners on the market.

Branch Hook for Extra Reach

Pruning isn’t just about cutting; clearing debris from high positions is equally important. With its integrated branch hook, this STIHL power pole saw lets you pull down loose or cut material from up to five metres above ground level. It’s a simple but highly effective feature that saves time and removes the need for ladders.

Useful Practical Details

The HTA 66 STIHL battery pole saw includes a bayonet-style oil cap for quick refilling, keeping bar and chain lubrication simple and mess-free. An IPX4 weather protection rating demonstrates it can be used in wet conditions with confidence.
