Technical Details
Why Choose the STIHL HS 45?
Entry-level petrol hedge trimmers often skimp on blade length to keep weight and price down; the HS 45 doesn't make that trade-off, pairing a full 60cm blade with a genuinely lightweight build. If your hedges are taller or wider still, the HS 46 C-E and HS 56 C-E step up in power and features.
