The STIHL HS 82 R is a high-torque, professional-grade hedge trimmer specifically engineered for heavy pruning, thinning, and rejuvenation of woody shrubs and hedges. The "R" designation stands for "Rejuvenation," signifying a specialized cutting blade with wider tooth spacing and a high-reduction gearbox. Even with its massive power output, this model is remarkably fuel-efficient, using 20% less fuel than previous versions to help improve your bottom line during long workdays.
Designed for maximum operator comfort and precision, the HS 82 R features low-vibration technology and a swivel handle that rotates to the optimal position for both vertical and horizontal cutting. Available in both 24-inch and 30-inch blade lengths, it provides the versatility needed to tackle massive commercial hedges with ease. Its lightweight construction—lighter than its predecessors—ensures that professional landscapers can maintain control and reduce fatigue throughout the most demanding projects.
The Choice for Heavy Overgrowth: While the "T" models are for fine shaping, the HS 82 R is built to power through thick, neglected branches. Note: This product is not available for purchase or delivery in the state of California.
