Stihl HL56K Description
The STIHL HL 56 K (0°) Extended-Reach Hedge Trimmer provides homeowners in the Dallas area with an ideal solution for maintaining hard-to-reach hedges without the need for ladders or platforms. This specialized trimmer combines extended reach with exceptional maneuverability, making it perfect for residential landscaping needs.
Featuring a 26-inch short shaft design, the HL 56 K delivers excellent handling and control while still providing the additional reach necessary for taller hedges. The fixed-angle zero-degree blade configuration maintains a natural cutting position, allowing precise trimming of elevated hedge tops and harder-to-access areas with smooth, consistent results.
The trimmer is powered by an advanced two-stroke engine that provides ample power (1.07 bhp) while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency through its low exhaust emission technology. This engineering approach significantly reduces both operational costs and environmental impact over time, making it an economical choice for regular home maintenance.
STIHL has designed this model with a lighter gearbox than previous versions, strategically shifting weight to the powerhead for improved balance and maneuverability. This thoughtful weight distribution, combined with the trimmer’s overall lightweight construction (12.6 lbs), helps reduce user fatigue during extended trimming sessions.
The 20-inch double-sided cutting blades deliver clean, precise cuts even on thicker branches, while the integrated tip protector facilitates safer cutting near ground level and walls. Additional user-friendly features include a simplified starting procedure, anti-vibration system, multi-function control handle, and included blade scabbard for safe storage and transport.
Designed specifically for homeowners and beginning landscapers, the HL 56 K (0°) offers professional-quality performance in a more accessible package, perfect for maintaining residential properties throughout Dallas.
Note: This product is not available for purchase or delivery in California.
