About the STIHL HLA 66 Cordless Long-reach Hedge Trimmer (Shell Only)

If your work involves high-precision hedge cutting in quiet or residential settings, the STIHL HLA 66 Cordless Long Reach Hedge Trimmer offers the perfect balance of power, manoeuvrability and low noise output. Built for professionals, it delivers outstanding results without compromise, on all types of hedging.

Replacing the earlier STIHL HLA 65 Cordless Long Reach Hedge Trimmer, this model has superb weight distribution, cutting efficiency and blade angle adjustment. Whether trimming tall hedges, shaping shrubs or reaching overhead foliage, the STIHL HLA66 delivers consistent, controlled performance.

(Please be advised that this is sold as the tool body only. To operate it, you’ll need to buy a compatible battery and charger, both of which are available from us separately.)

Clean Cutting with Quiet Operation

The HLA 66 Long Reach Hedge Trimmer is part of STIHL’s AP battery system and runs on 36 V electric power. Its EC motor produces 0.39 hp (0.29 kW), delivering steady, reliable torque without producing excessive heat or vibration.

Equipped with a 50 cm double-sided blade, the cutter has 3.3 cm spacing between the teeth. It cuts evenly on both sides, allowing vertical, horizontal and diagonal shaping without the need to reposition the tool.

Sound output is rated at 91 dB(A), with a low 83 dB(A) at the user’s ear, making the STIHL Hedge Trimmer HLA 66 ideal for noise sensitive environments.

Lightweight Build and Durable Design

At only 3.8 kg (excluding battery), this trimmer is noticeably light for its class. The body is slim and well-balanced, helping reduce user fatigue over longer sessions. Internal components are designed for durability, even with regular daily use.

When storage space is limited, the trimmer’s cutting head folds flat against the shaft. This reduces its length to just 132 cm and makes the STIHL HLA 66 Hedge Trimmer easy to store in work vans or sheds. A protective scabbard helps shield the blade in transit.

Adjustable Blade Angle for Versatile Work

For professional hedge shaping, blade angle makes all the difference. The STIHL HLA 66 Long Reach Hedge Trimmer features tool-free angle adjustment from -45° to +70°, allowing users to cut the tops, sides and even backs of tall or wide hedges with ease.

The blade tip is protected by a robust guard, so it can be used close to ground level or along walls without damaging the teeth.

Intuitive and Safe to Use

Starting the STIHL HLA 66 is quick and easy. What’s more, a trigger release and ERGO lever allow continuous trimming without repeated restarting. A locking switch resets after each use, reducing the risk of accidental startup.

Left- and right-handed users will both appreciate the loop handle, which provides excellent grip and freedom of movement, especially in tight or awkward areas.

Ready for Wet Weather

The STIHL HLA 66 Cordless Long Reach Hedge Trimmer holds an IPX4 water-resistance rating. This means it can be used confidently in light rain or wet conditions, without risk of internal water damage, making it ideal for the changeable British weather.

Smart Connector Compatibility

This premium trimmer is compatible with a STIHL Smart Connector. Once installed, it transmits data, including operating hours and maintenance reminders, to your STIHL Connected app. This is particularly useful for commercial operators who need to monitor tool use across a team or site.

Battery and Charger Options

Pairing the STIHL HLA 66 with a battery and charger from the STIHL AP range ensures top-tier performance. With an AP 200 battery, this trimmer can run for up to 144 minutes on a single charge. Recharge time with an AL 501 charger is just 45 minutes from empty to full.

This efficient setup lets you work longer with minimal downtime.

Accessories to Expand Capability

Several compatible accessories are available to complement the STIHL HLA 66. These include the aforementioned STIHL Smart Connector, a catcher plate for collecting trimmings, a battery protection foot, and a harness for cordless tools. A full range of PPE is also available for you to buy, offering safe operation in line with industry standards.

Warranty for Professional Use

The STIHL HLA 66 Long Reach Hedge Trimmer is supplied with an excellent 2-year manufacturer’s warranty, for either commercial or domestic use. This protects your investment and provides peace of mind when using the tool for regular work.
