STIHL HSA 50 50cm Hedge Trimmer Skin (4521 011 3560)

The STIHL HSA 50 50cm Battery Hedge Trimmer Skin (4521 011 3560) is a lightweight, balanced cordless option for keeping medium-sized hedges and shrubs tidy around the home. Its 50cm blade helps you shape hedge faces and tops without a trailing power lead, while the loop handle supports controlled cutting from either side.

Skin Only: Battery and Charger Sold Separately

This listing is for the hedge trimmer tool only. Battery and charger are not included. It uses the STIHL AK System, not AS or ALLPRO/AP batteries. It is a practical addition if you already own a compatible AK battery and charger.

Optional 50cm Catcher Plate

Add the STIHL 50cm catcher plate, 4859 740 3300 (48597403300), to collect cuttings on the blade and move them clear of the hedge. Its fitment list includes the HSA 50. Optional accessory, sold separately. Select the 50cm plate rather than the 600mm or 750mm versions.
