When the job seems just out of reach, the powerful and versatile HLA 86 extended-reach hedge trimmer delivers. Built using the same durable outer shaft as its gas-powered counterpart, this hedge trimmer provides professional-grade performance with the green benefits of battery power. The quiet, battery-powered operation is great for working in noise-restricted environments, and the brushless motor offers the added benefit of zero exhaust emissions. Easy to extend—thanks to its toolless design—the HLA 86 can telescope an additional 27.6", bringing you within reach of jobs that might otherwise be inaccessible. The -45-degree to +70-degree articulating head with 20-inch cutter bar delivers versatility with seven different positions, while the brushless motor and variable-speed trigger provide the professional power and control you demand to get the job done right.

This tool is IPX4-rated for weather-resistant construction and has been designed and tested for splash-water protection.
