Stihl HLA86 Long Reach Electric Telescopic Hedgecutter

Our first electric power tool for hedge cutting was purchased during October.

It is a telescopic version that gives us greater flexibility.  We also ordered a rear handle separately to offer the body some protection.

The benefits we are finding:

  1. Longer than expected battery life
  2. Less wearing parts as the motor is directly to the blades
  3. Less noise
  4. Lower running costs
  5. Lower vibration to the user
  6. Less fatigue during use
  7. Cleaner to transport

We coupled the Stihl HLA86 with a pair of Stihl AP 500 S batteries and have found 2x to be adequate for heavy use for a working day.

The lads that came were great—friendly and professional.

The job was completed quickly, and they gave me full details. Will definitely recommend to others! 🙂

Great service and they even sorted out the planning permission I needed to fell these particular trees which was a real bonus.

Guys who came to do the work were polite, hard working and cleaned up everything at the end. Very happy.
