Alongside the impressive performance, the HSA 100 also offers high levels of operator comfort. The new hedge trimmer is comfortable to hold, balanced in operation and features a rotating rear handle that locks into three positions across a 1800 range, helping to reduce wrist strain when working for long periods of time. Furthermore, the trigger is located on the inside of the front loop handle for increased comfort in all positions.

Additional operator comfort features include quiet operation, meaning the hedge trimmer can be used without ear defenders, as well as an improved anti-vibration system that offers significantly lower vibration compared to the HSA 86.

To combat potential jamming of the blades, especially when working on thick material, the HSA 100 features an innovative anti-blocking system that reverses the motors rotational direction to unblock the blades, minimising product downtime and enhancing the efficiency of the tool.

The HSA 100 is powered by STIHL’s AP battery system, offering up to 150 minutes run time on a single charge when used with the recommended AP 200 battery.

Ideal for pruning taller hedges and shrubs as well as clearing ground cover plants, the new HLA 66 and 86 replace the popular HLA 65 and 85 models, and feature a series of upgrades to improve the user experience. Exceptionally well balanced thanks to the repositioned battery, the hedge trimmers are lightweight for easier handling and reduced fatigue when working over longer periods.

Thanks to the EC motor, rapid acceleration of the blades is achieved for optimum performance, and the tool can be used in wet conditions to minimise downtime. The 115º swivelling cutter bar allows user to achieve top, side and bottom cuts easily, whilst the blade is also sharpened on both sides for efficient cutting in any direction. Additionally, the cutter blade can be folded flat for improved user safety and space saving when transporting the tool.

Both of the models feature a new ergonomic control handle and a self-resetting locking lever in combination with the Ergo lever for an intuitive start-up process. This design also ensures that the tool is comfortable to use whether right-handed or left-handed and features anti-slip protection for further safety and comfort.

The HLA 66 is available with a loop handle and shaft grip for ergonomic working helping users trim closer to where they are standing, whilst the HLA 86 offers a telescopic alternative for a longer reach. With an adjustable length of 260cm – 330cm, users can easily find the best working position using the HLA 86, whilst the square shaft design prevents against twisting and deflection allowing for precise positioning even at full extension.

Both the HLA 66 and HLA 86 can be used with STIHL’s high-performance 36V AP battery system for professional use and are compatible with a number of accessories, including a mounting base, carrying system, clamp for the telescopic shaft and catcher plate for the cutting blade.

ECHO’s New 58V Battery Trimmer

ECHO’s New 58V Battery Trimmer: The new ECHO DST-58V2AH 58 Volt battery trimmer is small, lightweight and yet packs the power of a petrol trimmer to take on the toughest jobs. No longer is there a need to store petrol, mix two-stroke and fill a tank. Simply charge and go with a powerful trimmer built to the same professional standards as ECHO’s petrol versions, which means it’s durable and built to last. Low noise, low vibration operation and zero emissions at the point of use add to the already convincing case for using battery power. There’s no more cold starting, the trimmer is clean to use and store and requires minimal maintenance due to non-wearing parts.

There was a time when battery power was not enough to tackle long grass and stubborn weeds. The ECHO DST-58V2AH comes with a 2Ah 58V lithium-ion battery which produces all the power needed to quickly cut and clear large areas. The battery can also be used with other ECHO 58V products in the new range. Run time is thirty minutes and fully charging the 2Ah battery takes just thirty minutes with the quick charger supplied. There is the option of a 4Ah battery for longer run time. The trimmer features a robust brushless motor which is long-lasting and maintenance free, which also means reduced costs on servicing to add to the savings on fuel. The ergonomic front handle design is excellent for manoeuvrability and user comfort and the variable speed control enables optimised cutting power with precision. There is a hi-lo speed switch to select output for maximum performance or a longer run time. When the trimmer line runs out the Speed-Feed 400 trimmer head, which comes as standard, reloads in seconds without disassembly.

ECHO's New 58V Battery Trimmer

The ECHO DST-58V2AH is ideally suited to use in noise and emission sensitive areas such as schools and hospital grounds, parks and public gardens as well as around domestic properties. The new ECHO 58V range comprises the trimmer, a hedgetrimmer and power blower, which come with the interchangeable 2Ah battery as standard, and a chainsaw and lawn mower. If you buy the chainsaw or lawn mower they come with the 4Ah battery so you would have the benefit of extra run time for the other products you might need.
