Stihl HL56K 20" Extended Hedge Trimmer - 0°

Maintain hard-to-reach hedges with precision using the STIHL HL 56 K (0°) extended-reach hedge trimmer. Specially designed for homeowners and beginning landscapers, this gas-powered model features a 26-inch short shaft that offers superior control and handling compared to full-length shaft trimmers. Its fixed-angle 0° blade allows you to glide smoothly across hedge faces and tops, providing a clean, professional finish in tight or difficult spaces.

The HL 56 K (0°) is powered by an advanced, low-emission engine that delivers high torque with improved fuel efficiency, lowering your total cost of ownership over time. To enhance maneuverability, this model features a lightweight gearbox that shifts the unit's center of gravity toward the powerhead, resulting in a perfectly balanced tool that reduces operator fatigue during extended sessions. Its rugged construction ensures it can handle the transition from simple yard maintenance to more demanding landscaping tasks.

Balanced Performance: With a focus on ergonomics and ease of use, the HL 56 K (0°) is the ideal "bridge" tool for those who need more reach than a handheld trimmer but want the agility of a compact unit. Note: This product is not available for purchase or delivery in the state of California.
