The quiet, battery-powered operation is great for working in noise-restricted environments with the added benefit of zero exhaust emissions. By offering easy extension thanks to its toolless design, the HLA 86 can telescope an additional 27.6” bringing pros within reach of jobs that might otherwise be inaccessible. The -45° to +70° articulating head with 20” cutter bar delivers versatility with seven different positions, while the brushless motor and variable-speed trigger provide the power and control pros demand to get the job done right.
