The Stihl HSA 65 is a high-performance cordless hedge trimmer designed for both professional and residential use, offering a blend of power, efficiency, and ease of use. This tool is powered by a 36-volt lithium-ion battery, providing consistent and environmentally friendly energy without the emissions and noise associated with gasoline-powered tools. The HSA 65 features a 20-inch dual-action blade system that delivers precise and clean cuts, making it ideal for trimming and shaping hedges and shrubs.

Safety is prioritized with the addition of a blade tip protector, which helps prevent accidental blade contact with hard surfaces, and a two-stage trigger system, ensuring that the tool operates only when intended.

Durability is a key feature of the HSA 65, with its robust construction designed to withstand regular use in various conditions. The trimmer is part of the Stihl battery system, allowing battery compatibility with other tools in the range, enhancing convenience and cost-effectiveness for users who own multiple Stihl products.
