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. 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.
