An articulating cutting head and extended reach shaft give pros the reach and range they need.

Built using the same shaft, gearbox, and blades as found on the gas-powered HL 94, the HLA 135 with its 145° adjustable blade gives professionals the benefits of clean, quiet battery power in build and design with proven durability thanks to zero exhaust emissions and low noise. A virtually maintenance-free brushless motor delivering consistent power and a variable-speed trigger with three performance levels mean pros don’t have to compromise the job to reap the benefits of Battery Power. It combines a proven, durable weather-resistant design with an onboard battery slot that can support either an onboard battery or a backpack battery for even longer run times.
