💚💚💚 Great review, I've also found that the blade speed makes a big difference in cut quality, I also was wishing that they would have fixed that issue, thanks for sharing! 💚💚💚

It will be an important change in the gardening industry. I like these tools.

Good review. I have the old version and agree with all of your criticisms. I also think that it's great value for money in terms of the variety of work you can do with one machine at a pretty low price.

I appreciate your honest opinion, I am a homeowner, however I have a large amount of small trees and shrubs that require trimming quite often, currently I am using a older model, echo gas powered pole hedge trimmer, I have rebuilt it multiple times so I have really got my use out of it ,however the heaviness is really getting to me. So I am currently looking at cordless electric,

Beaut video! 👍 Some great shots & those views! Awesome. Great to hear you mention Being kind - amazes me just how angry people can get about the machines people choose to use. As you say - The world would be a dull place if we all used the same kit. Nice one mate 👍

I have the old battery version and I simply love it

Great video I just bought a hHLA66 for domestic use son in law has a HLA 56 when comparing a HLA 66 to a HLA 135 you should mention the 135 is nearly twice the price (well in UK it Is)so cant really compare like for like And the Husqvarna with a metal gearbox base is 1/3 dearer again but a very informative video so thank you atb

Enjoyed the video, a good and thorough review. We personally still use the old version but will swap to this once we need a new one. The HLA 135 is a fantastic bit of kit but the downsides to it, i.e. big differences in how long the batteries last, noticeable difference in weight and almost double the cost (plus it doesn't even have a tip protector!!) just mean it's not worth it for us. The HLA 65/66 definitely has its shortcomings as you mention, but we've been happy enough with it to carry on using going forward. All the very best 👌

Good info. At the moment husky is putting out some very nice gear that is certainly giving Stihl a run for its money.

This is a great review

Great review. Was wondering have you compared this Hla66 to the Ego pole trimmer?

Thank you !

I've been very happy with my early HLA65, but I'm not doing the scale of work you're doing these days. I'm sure it would be the Husky gear otherwise...but it's hard to back-track when you've invested in...or been tempted by a battery "family"! You're right about that irritating third switch. Excellent video presentation and practical explanation...as ever.

Can't afford it! But love it.

Great video and views. Just wondering what pole hedger would you recommend for domestic use i.e conifers and laurel. Thanks in advance 👍

Great review. I have 2 pole hedge trimer from husqvarna and i must to say that husky is much more useful for daily pro use wich we needed. I have it amlost 3 years and no any problem. Why is beter husky than stihl? They have beter triger, beter handle grip, back handle for very long triming sometimes and also protection👌, magnesium housing and faster blades... I'm also big fan of stihl products, btw gas trimer R and T version are monster💪💪💪but this pole trimet is way better from husky👌💪👍

Looks like you have some good views there on that job!

Saludos 🖖 para todos

Excellent thanks, a summary at the end ? :)

is there a better brand in the pole trimmer sector with faster blade speed?

Are 18v units any good as apposed to 36/40v units?

in other words is there a better make or trimmer with a faster cut speed?

I don't get why everyone reviews this like it's Stihl's top of the line hedge trimmer, there is an HLA135 with the motor at the back with 4000 cuts/min

What do you prefer the stihl or husky? Im thinking the husky seems a better all round trimmer?

Is there a similar hedger with more cuts per minute?

So the blade of a hsa 60 is better?

How long does the battery last

From where I buy it

Trimming a hedge next to gravel without a sheet down? That's a recipe for frustration 😅

I was looking to purchase the HLA 65 because this new one with the third safety is horrible and it's things like that. When companies do things they're going to push people from purchasing

No hermano no sé inglés 😂

Im a stihl fanboy and these stihl battery trimmers are garbage. Good luck using this or the hla65 commercially for more than a season. Mine has been in the shop twice in a year. That said, I love trimming with this damn thing.

Electric garden equipment is garbage. It takes twice as long with this equipment than it does with petrol.

I have NEVER seen anyone use a tool so incorrectly as you do, sorry to say, and no offence!... 1) you bend your back all the time (bad habit?) 2) you use a ladder to reach the top of your hedge, which really isn't the idea with a pole hedger.
