A lightweight, fixed-length hedge trimmer with a powerful, low-emission engine for hard-to-reach hedges.
Maintain hard-to-reach hedges with the STIHL HL 56 K (0°) extended length hedge trimmer. Designed for homeowners and beginning landscapers, this extended length hedge trimmer has a 26-inch short shaft which makes it easy to handle. With its advanced, low-emission, powerful two-stroke engine, the HL 56 K (0°) is fuel efficient for a lower cost of ownership over time. It features a lighter gearbox than previous models, shifting weight to the powerhead for better balance and maneuverability.
