This is the perfect tool to trim taller hedges and shrubs.

Our lightweight and well-balanced battery-powered long-reach hedge trimmer has double-edged, droplet shaped blades to guide branches between the cutting teeth for a precise and even finish. The angle of the head can be changed from -45° to +90°, so you can easily trim all of those hard to reach areas.

With a detachable shaft for easy transport and a bracket included for neat storage, the HLA 56 is a great tool to add to your collection.

For even longer reach, add the 20″/50 cm extension shaft and for greater comfort.

AK 20 battery and AL 101 charger included optionally.

Loop handle

The HLA 56 has a loop handle on the shaft to help you manoeuver the hedge trimmer.

Blade tip protector

The HLA 56 comes with a tip protector fitted as standard, which makes cutting near the ground or along walls easier, and helps to protect the blades from damage.

Neutral battery position for easy transport

There are two positions for the battery – in the first neutral position, the battery is secured in the machine but not connected to the contacts. This means you can carry the battery around easily without accidentally starting the trimmer. In the second position, the battery is fully pushed in and you can easily start the tool.

Wall-mounting bracket included

There is a bracket included in the box, so you can easily mount your HLA 56 on the wall in your shed.

Precision ground blades

The blades on the HLA 56 are diamond ground to help you achieve a precise cut.

Integrated cut protection

The HLA 56 has integrated cut protection which overlaps the working blades, to reduce the risk of them making contact with your leg.
