The STIHL HS 82 T is a high-speed, professional-grade petrol hedge trimmer engineered specifically for precision trimming, shaping, and fine-sculpting of commercial hedges and ornamental bushes. Powered by a high-torque, low-emission 22.7 cc 2-MIX engine, the HS 82 T delivers up to 5,000 strokes per minute (SPM), ensuring clean, crisp cuts on soft and medium foliage without chewing or tearing leaves.
Designed for all-day commercial landscaping, the HS 82 T features STIHL's 180-degree multi-function swiveling handle, allowing operators to comfortably trim vertically or horizontally at five distinct angles. Combined with a multi-point anti-vibration suspension system, low-weight balance, and dual-reciprocating laser-cut double-sided blades, this machine maximizes efficiency while significantly reducing fatigue during extended jobs.
Key Features & Benefits
- High-Speed Trimming Gearbox ("T" Model): Specially engineered gear ratio and smaller cutter-tooth stroke deliver high blade speeds up to 5,000 SPM, perfect for shaping and fine-finish trimming.
- 180° Multi-Function Swiveling Handle: Rotates to five different positions (90° left/right and 45° angles) for comfortable, ergonomic operation when cutting hedge tops, sides, or bottom edges.
- Dual-Reciprocating Laser-Cut Blades: Double-sided, diamond-ground cutter blades provide precise, clean cuts in both sweep directions.
- STIHL 2-MIX Engine Technology: Delivers strong power output with up to 20% lower fuel consumption and up to 70% reduced exhaust emissions compared to standard two-stroke engines.
- Advanced Anti-Vibration System: Steel springs isolate engine and blade vibrations away from the handle grip to minimize hand and forearm fatigue.
- Toolless Fuel Cap: Baffle-style fuel cap opens and locks shut easily without requiring tools for fast, clean refills.
