Ambitious homeowners and tree care professionals now have another quiet, zero exhaust emission, low-vibration option for trimming out-of-reach branches. The HTA 86 lithium-ion battery pole pruner offers lightweight, balanced cutting thanks to its brushless, commercial-grade, high-torque electric motor. Part of the STIHL AP System, the HTA 86 offers long run times—up to 42 minutes with the AP 200 battery—without gradual drop in performance. The HTA 86 features the same lightweight toolless telescoping shaft found on its gas-powered counterpart and extends to 12.8 feet for those tall tree-trimming tasks, giving you the ability to reach up to 16-feet high. Best of all, there are no gasoline costs and no restrictive power cords, and it’s virtually maintenance-free.

Run time may vary based on battery type, charge level and capacity, model, operating style, and conditions. Batteries and chargers can be purchased separately or as a combined set with tool.
