HTA 66
A battery-powered pole pruner that delivers on performance and versatility.
Eliminate fuel costs and get the convenience of Lithium-Ion technology with the battery-powered HTA 66. This fixed length pole pruner is a cordless, low-maintenance and environmentally responsible option for professionals and homeowners alike. Running on an advanced 36-volt Lithium-Ion battery, the HTA 66 eliminates the need for fuel and two-cycle oil, and considerably reduces maintenance needs. It offers users low noise and lower vibration levels than its gas-powered equivalents, as well as automatic chain oiling making it the perfect pruner for many tree care needs.

Our lithium-Ion batteries are designed to be swapped between multiple STIHL battery-powered tools, so you can use a single battery to tackle a wide range of outdoor projects.
