HLA 56

The STIHL HLA 56 is the first extended-reach hedge trimmer within the AK Series. Powered by the 36-volt lithium-ion battery as other products within the AK Series, 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.

HTA 50

As the first pole pruner in the STIHL AK System, the battery-powered HTA 50 allows homeowners to trim hard-to-reach areas in their yard with confidence. Featuring a lightweight extended-reach design, the HTA 50 can be comfortably operated with its 9’2” overall length – or nearly 11’ when paired with an optional 20” shaft extension. Even with its long reach, the HTA 50 is still easy to store and transport due to its split-shaft design. A 10” guide bar with ¼” STIHL PICCO™ saw chain provides exceptionally smooth, clean cuts – perfect for all your tree care needs. The HTA 50 is quiet to operate, making it a great choice for noise-sensitive environments and allowing for operation without the need for hearing protection. Utilizing the AK 20 battery and AL 101 charger, the HTA 50 will fit seamlessly into any homeowner’s existing lineup of STIHL AK System tools.
