The STIHL HS 56 C-E hedge trimmer is the ideal balance of power and portability for trimming professionals. Its 24” cutting blade is supported by a remarkably lightweight design, adding comfort and control to those extended cutting and pruning jobs. It comes with a blade tip guard that protects the blades, keeping them sharper, longer while making it easier to trim plants that grow near wires and fences. And thanks to its Easy2Start™ technology, getting your trimming day started is as easy as gently pulling a cord.
