The HSA 100 is a powerful professional hedge trimmer for use in noise-sensitive areas, nurseries, landscape maintenance, and groundskeeping operations. Powered by a powerful 36 V Lithium-Ion battery and part of the STIHL AP System, it’s ideal for maintaining all types of hedges, and for trimming and pruning anything from thin branches to thick shoots that are many years old.
With long-lasting sharpness, a 60 cm / 24” double-sided cutting blade with 34 mm tooth spacing for excellent cutting performance and rapid work progress.
It’s highly ergonomic thanks to optimum power tool balance, and allows for effortless working even over longer periods thanks to the anti-vibration system, loop handle and rotatable multi-function handle. The rotatable multi-function handle means you can work comfortably and precisely when along the side of long hedges – helping you to achieve the perfect cut with your hedge trimmer! The handle can be rotated into 3 positions across 180°, reducing the strain on your wrist when cutting long hedges and making repeated motions.
The HSA 100 has an anti-block system for easy change of the cutting blades’ rotational direction in the event of blockages. Constant and reliable performance is provided too thanks to the durable EC engine. Plus, the hedge trimmer comes equipped with a screw-on tip protector for low-wear work close to the ground or along walls.
Working time with recommended AP 200 S battery is up to 150 minutes.
Double sided cutting blades
STIHL hedge trimmers with double-sided cutting blades cut both vertically and horizontally.
Optimised cut protection
The wide gaps in the tooth spacing allow thicker branches to be cut.
Swivelling multi-function handle
The handle rotates by 90° to the left and right, ensuring the best cutting position at all times.
Anti-vibration system
Intense vibration at the handles of power tools can lead to long-term effects on blood vessels in the hands and arms. STIHL has therefore developed an effective anti-vibration system whereby the oscillations from the machine’s engine are dampened which significantly reduces vibrations at the handles.
STIHL Electric Motor (EC)
The STIHL electric motor (EC) is extremely energy efficient, lightweight and compact. It runs quietly, generates very low vibrations and does not require servicing.
Hanging loop
Hang your tool securely on a wall to save space using the loop in the handle housing.
Pruning system
The single-sided precision-ground and double-sided cutting blades produce a very clean cut when trimming hedges. The 33° cutting angle delivers excellent cutting performance. The blade teeth geometry allows cutting of twigs up to 8 mm thick.
Tip protection
Come with tip protection as standard, which prevents damage to both the blade and the gear, but also to things that lie near the hedgerow (e.g. natural stone wall). It also makes it easier to cut ground cover plants. (similar to illustration)
Scabbard
Protects the cutting blade for safe storage and transport.
Two handed design
The tool is easily started by activating both switches on the loop handle and the rear handle at the same time. The cutting speed is continuously variable using the rear control, for a fine and precise cut. The two handed design is suitable for both left and right-handed users.
Functional design
The engine housing has smooth surfaces and round contours. This prevents the tool from getting caught on branches. The hedge trimmers are easy to clean.

Very efficient service. Quick delivery and a very good price.
Typical good quality product from Stihl. Not had chance to really put it through its paces yet and check the battery capacity but it is very quiet in operation
John Fells (verified owner) –
Excellent service with speedy dispatch. The cutter is well made and much more robust than my previous AK series one. Quite heavy though! I’m very pleased to have upgraded.

Radmore and Tucker consistently provide excellent prices coupled with fast delivery and a smooth shopping experience.
The machine itself seems to be a return to the expected Stihl quality – with added features and with filters on the air vents to prevent ingress by dirt and dust (a vast improvement on the previous model (the 50))

Great price and tool arrived in good order and as described. 4 stars because it was described as in stock on the website but after paying was informed new stock was awaited. R&T kept me informed but it took about 2 weeks to arrive.
The HSA 100 replaces the HSA 86 model. It’s more or less the same but now has a rotatable handle and the cutting speed seems to be slower though no less effective on the limited hedge cutting I’ve tried so far. These Stihl AP battery tools are fantastic for home use, being quiet, not too heavy and with none of the faff of mixing 2 stroke or trailing mains leads.

Great price, great bit of kit. Cuts very well, is surprisingly quiet in use and capable of cutting quite thick branches. Battery seems to last a good length of time (using ap200s). As usual great service from Radmore and Tucker, ordered monday night and received on wednesday.

Not as powerful as petrol, but very easy to use, I liked that it’s only running when you need it, little vibration and much quieter. Cuts nicely.
