HLA 56 Cordless Long-Reach Hedge Trimmer – Complete Kit with AK 20 Battery & AL 101 Charger (210 cm, 135° Adjustable Head)

The HLA 56 Cordless Long-Reach Hedge Trimmer is the ideal solution for trimming tall hedges, wide shrubs, and hard-to-reach areas in your garden—all without the noise or emissions of a petrol machine. This complete kit includes the AK 20 battery and AL 101 charger, giving you everything you need to get started straight away.

Lightweight, Well-Balanced & Designed for Precision

This long-reach hedge trimmer is engineered for comfortable all-day use, featuring a lightweight design and excellent balance. Its double-edged, droplet-shaped blades help guide branches cleanly between the cutting teeth, ensuring a smooth, even finish on all hedge types.

135° Adjustable Head for Versatile Trimming

The cutting head can be adjusted from −45° to +90°, allowing you to:

  • Trim tall hedge tops with ease

  • Shape sides cleanly from ground level

  • Reach awkward angles without strain

Whether you’re shaping, maintaining, or tackling overgrown shrubs, the HLA 56 provides outstanding flexibility and control.

Easy Transport & Space-Saving Storage

The detachable shaft reduces the trimmer’s carrying length to just 115 cm, making transport simple and storage compact. A built-in storage bracket is also included for tidy wall-mounting in your shed or garage.

The included 36V AK 20 battery is fully interchangeable with other tools in the STIHL AK System, including:

  • Grass trimmers
