Cordless hedge trimmer HSA 66, Battery System PRO, cutting length 50cm, without battery and charger

A low weight and a constant stroke rate under load are the major strengths of the STIHL HSA 66 with a 50 cm cutting length. Even during demanding tasks, you can work extremely effectively with this tool. The teardrop-shaped geometry of the blades ensures particularly good grip on the branches. The blades are single-sided sharpened and feature integrated cut protection.

The STIHL HSA 66 with a 50 cm cutting length has a nominal voltage of 36 volts. With a sound power level of 94 decibels, it is particularly quiet and can be used safely in residential areas without disturbing the neighbors. Thanks to its low weight of 3.1 kg, the STIHL HSA 66 with a 50 cm cutting length sits comfortably in the hand when processing branches up to 23 millimeters thick.

The STIHL HSA 66 with a 50 cm cutting length features a highly innovative cutting system thanks to the design of its blades. These are shaped like protruding drops, so the branch is held by the blade while it is cut, resulting in a significant increase in performance. An optimized grinding angle of 34 degrees also contributes to high cutting performance.

With a convenient two-hand control via two switches on the loop handle and the rear handle, starting the STIHL HSA 66 with a 50 cm cutting length is intuitive and extremely easy. This makes the two-hand control equally easy for both right- and left-handed users. The loop handle is ergonomically designed, allowing you to work in any direction with minimal effort and for long periods. Working along walls or close to the ground is also no problem, as the integrated guide guard protects the blades from accidental damage. The STIHL HSA 66's features are rounded out with practical features such as a hanging loop and a blade guard.

Innovative shearing system

Protruding drops hold the branch against the blade during cutting. This significantly increases cutting performance.

Optimized grinding angle

The optimized grinding angle of 34° ensures high cutting performance and more aggressive cutting behavior.

STIHL EC motor

The maintenance-free, brushless EC motor ensures longer runtime and an increased service life. The motor is controlled by the new STIHL EC electronics, which detects loads, e.g., from thick branches, and adjusts the engine speed so that the stroke rate remains constant during cutting. Optimized transmission with overload protection for greater stability.

Two-hand control

The device can be easily started by simultaneously pressing both switches on the bow handle and the rear handle. Particularly practical: The two-hand control is suitable for right- and left-handed users.

Guide guard

The standard guide guard facilitates cutting close to the ground or along walls and protects the special blades from damage.

Functional design

The motor housing has smooth surfaces and rounded contours. This prevents snagging on branches during work. The hedge trimmers also generate little dirt and are easy to clean. (Image similar)

Blade guard

To protect the cutting blades and ensure safe transport, both cordless hedge trimmers are equipped with a blade guard.

Hanging loop

The practical hanging loop allows the cordless hedge trimmers to be hung on the wall to save space.
