Overview

The STIHL HS 45 Petrol Hedge Trimmer is an entry-level, light-duty gas hedge trimmer engineered for homeowners and groundskeepers managing shrubs, bushes, and garden hedges. Powered by a dependable 27.2 cc STIHL 2-stroke engine producing 0.75 kW (1.0 hp), the HS 45 delivers fast cutting speed and reliable cutting power without being weighed down by heavy commercial components.
