  1. Ron Y (verified owner) –

    The Stihl HLA 86 is a fantastic piece of kit (as well as it’s associated battery and charger) albeit quite heavy but nevertheless great to work with.
    The supply and delivery of all the kit from Radmore and Tucker was excellent, they were the cheapest of suppliers and ensured I received my order in a prompt and exactly as advised manner.
    I would have no hesitation in recommending Radmore and Tucker and will use them again when in need of further goods.

  2. Christian S (verified owner) –

    love it, great delivery and purchase service

  3. David Vanstone (verified owner) –

    The prompt and efficient arrival (direct from Radmore and Tucker) of my STIHL HLA 86 long reach hedge trimmer was most timely. Using the telescopic reach enabled me to reach areas of hedging l normally had to get at with various ladders and access equipment. Heavy at its longest extension, however it did not hinder my use, the battery ensures a quiet action compared with previous engine driven products, something neighbours will approve of in the spring/summer. An excellent addition to my range of STIHL gardening equipment.

  4. Jerry Lovell (verified owner) –

    Excellent service, great product, great not to have add extensions, just unlock and slide, I’ve gone from 2 stroke to this battery model

  5. Mark (verified owner) –

    The Stihl HLA86 is an awesome piece of kit! Having struggled for years with a shorter reach 2-stroke hedge trimmer the HLA86 has transformed the experience and made the job so much easier! Plenty of reach, so much quieter and lighter with loads of sustained power throughout the job! I only wish I’d bought one sooner! Radmore & Tucker were excellent… great website, great price and great service! I’m a happy customer and would definitely recommend!

  6. Mark hawkins (verified owner) –

    It certainly gets the job done although it is heavy and not very well balanced. Its very easy to use and so convenient to be able to extend it just when you want then shorten it again.
    Would be better if the on trigger was a little further up the handle as they are on 2 strokes.

  7. Simon Jones (verified owner) –

    Excellent bit of kit. I should have bought one ages ago. Great customer service from Radmore & Tucker but they should change their courier. DX were poor, 3 failed deliveries.

  8. Charles Kemp (verified owner) –

    Like all Stihl tools quality engineering and robust capability.
    The HLA 86 long reach hedge cutter excellent piece of kit
    You have to give it some when extended and below the vertical say cutting the top of the hedge but excellent reach – as intended.
    First class service from Radmore and Tucker once again.
