2026 STIHL Hedge Trimmers HLA 56

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 -45° to +70° articulating head can be adjusted to seven different positions.

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

• The dual-ground blade system provides a clean cut and is ideal for cutting through stronger, thicker branches.

• The ergonomic loop handle is ideal for making cuts in any direction.

• 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.
