The STIHL 30° Gearbox Assembly (Part Number: 4138-640-0201) is a genuine OEM angled drive attachment designed for STIHL fixed-length pole pruners (HT series) and long-reach hedge trimmers (HL series) equipped with round drive shafts. Featuring a fixed 30-degree offset, this angled gearhead optimizes cutting reach and blade geometry, making it significantly easier to flush-cut limbs, undercut high branches, or trim flat hedge tops without awkward body angles or added strain.
