Cordless telescopic Hedgetrimmer
General

The STIHL HLA 85 telescopic Hedgetrimmer is a versatile addition to the STIHL Cordless range. The HLA 85 features an adjustable cutter which makes it suitable for a number of tasks on tall or deep hedges. With a total extended length of 3.3m it gives the operator a safer approach to taller hedges. The tool is lightweight and has very low vibrations making it suitable for professionals who would use the machine for extended periods. The brushless EC motor keeps maintenance to a minimum while increasing the tool’s running time.
