The STIHL HLA 66 is a lightweight, cordless long-reach hedge trimmer designed for professionals who need precision and flexibility in hedge maintenance. Whether you're shaping tall hedges or trimming low shrubs, the adjustable cutter bar, ergonomic design, and quiet EC motor make it perfect for efficient work in residential zones, parks, and public spaces.
Professional Power & Quiet Operation: The high-quality EC motor delivers fast blade acceleration for clean, precise cuts, while running quietly enough for use in noise-sensitive areas like neighbourhoods and hospitals.
Versatile Cutting Angles: The cutter bar adjusts from -45° to +70°, giving you flexibility to trim tops, sides, and ground-level plants. It also folds parallel to the shaft for easy transport and storage.
Ergonomic & Ambidextrous Design: The control handle is designed for both right- and left-handed users, with a self-resetting locking lever for added safety and ease of use.
Lightweight & Manoeuvrable: The loop handle allows for excellent mobility, even in tight or narrow spaces, ideal for professional landscaping work.
Splashproof & Weather-Ready: Certified to IPX4 standards, the HLA 66 is splashproof and tested for durability in adverse weather conditions, so you can work confidently rain or shine.
Tools from the STIHL ALLPRO system can be operated with both ALLPRO batteries and AP batteries.

Q: Are the Batteries Interchangeable?
A: Yes, all of the tools in the ALLPRO Cordless System use the same style of battery. For the HLA 66, we recommend the AP 100 P battery as it is lighter and means the tool is perfectly balanced, but you can use any of the other batteries in this range.
Q: Does the performance of the Battery reduce as it depletes?
A: No there is no gradual drop in performance – the battery runs at full power until it is fully depleted.
Q: Will the blades need sharpening?
A: Keeping the blades sharp will give a neat cut on whatever you are trimming. If you notice that the blades are getting jammed easily or the machine is struggling, the blades may need sharpening. Our STIHL SHOP retailers can do this for you.
Q: What should I wear when using this tool?
A: We recommend that you wear snug-fitting clothes, eye protection, gloves and sturdy boots or shoes, and tie back long hair.
Q: How thick of a branch can the HLA 66 cut?
A: The HLA 66 is designed for hedge trimming and maintenance, with a 33 mm tooth spacing that allows it to handle thicker hedge growth than many homeowner models.
Q: Is the battery and charger included?
A: This version is supplied as a tool only, with the battery and charger sold separately. If you would prefer a complete package, we also sell the HLA 66 hedge trimmer kit that includes a compatible battery and charger.
Q: Is the HLA 66 suitable for professional use?
A: Yes. The HLA 66 is designed for professional landscapers, contractors, farmers, and property owners who require maximum reach, durability, and long working times.
Q: Can the cutter bar be adjusted for different angles?
A: Yes. The cutter bar adjusts from -45° to +70°, making it easier to trim hedge tops, sides, and low-growing shrubs while maintaining a comfortable working position.
Q: Is the HLA 66 a better choice than a standard hedge trimmer?
A: The HLA 66 offers more versatility than a standard hedge trimmer. In addition to trimming everyday hedges, its longer shaft extends your reach, making it ideal for maintaining tall, wide, or hard-to-reach hedges. This allows you to work safely from the ground and reduces the need to use a ladder.
Q: What is a STIHL laminate cell battery?
A: STIHL laminate cell batteries are the latest generation of STIHL lithium-ion battery technology, designed to provide more power, longer runtime and reduced weight for professional users.
Q: How is a laminate cell battery different from a standard lithium-ion battery?
A: Both use lithium-ion technology, but STIHL laminate cell batteries pack more energy into a lighter battery. That means more power and longer runtime without unnecessary weight, making your tool easier to handle during longer jobs. Pair it with the STIHL AL 1802 MO charger for seriously fast charging: up to 80% in just 9 minutes and 100% in 20 minutes, so you can spend less time waiting and more time working.
Q: What is the difference between the HLA 66 and HLA 86?
A: The HLA 66 is lighter at 3.8 kg and has a fixed 205 cm shaft, making it easier to manoeuvre. The HLA 86 features a telescopic shaft that extends from 260 cm to 330 cm, making it better suited for particularly tall or difficult-to-reach hedges.
