HUSQVARNA 520iLX Cordless Strimmer (Shell Only)

Husqvarna 520iLX Cordless Strimmer (Shell Only): A Smart, Modern Tool for Professional Use

The Husqvarna 520iLX is a lightweight yet highly capable cordless grass trimmer, offering precise, reliable cutting and excellent ergonomics. Built for forward-thinking professionals, it delivers strong performance without the noise, emissions, or maintenance demands of petrol machines. Whether you’re trimming landscaped gardens or maintaining public spaces, this smart, modern strimmer offers a smooth and efficient operating experience.

Efficient Brushless Motor Performance

At the core of the 520iLX strimmer is Husqvarna’s advanced brushless motor, developed in-house to ensure reliable performance. Compared to standard brushed motors, it offers around 25% greater efficiency, ensuring strong and consistent torque when cutting through thick, tall, or damp grass. With fewer moving components, it requires minimal upkeep over time.

Reliable Power Throughout Use

This Husqvarna strimmer is built to perform consistently, even as the battery charge changes. Intelligent electronics work alongside an effective cooling system to maintain steady output from start to finish. This helps you stay productive, particularly when working across larger areas or tackling demanding conditions.

Simple Controls with Clever Features

Operation is straightforward thanks to an intuitive keypad. Starting and stopping the machine is quick and easy, while the integrated savE™ mode button allows you to reduce power output when full cutting strength isn’t required. This not only extends runtime but also lowers noise levels. Press the savE™ mode button for a second time to return to the regular power mode.

Flexible Cutting and Line Management

With a cutting width of 40cm, the 520iLX Husqvarna grass cutter covers open spaces efficiently. It comes equipped with a T25B Trimmer Head featuring a twin-line system and Tap ‘n Go functionality. Feeding more line is as simple as tapping the head against the ground, allowing you to keep working without interruption. For more demanding cutting tasks, we sell a 4-tooth grass blade as an optional extra.

Dual Rotation for Cleaner Results

A dedicated button on the keypad lets you switch the trimmer head’s rotational direction, which helps prevent flying grass landing on nearby paths or borders. This practical feature improves the finish of your work, and is invaluable in landscaped areas where presentation truly matters.

Balanced Design for Comfortable Handling

Weighing just 3kg without the battery, this Husqvarna trimmer is easy to handle across extended sessions. Its slim construction and intelligently positioned front handle keep the tool’s centre of gravity balanced, improving manoeuvrability and reducing operator fatigue.

Advanced Battery Placement and System

The battery is positioned through the body of the strimmer, improving the machine’s balance and protecting the battery compartment. This design also allows you to choose a wider range of battery sizes. As part of the Husqvarna BLi-X 36V system, the 520iLX strimmer is compatible with all Husqvarna professional batteries, from lightweight options to larger, high-capacity units. You can share these batteries across multiple machines, helping streamline your equipment setup and reduce overall running costs.

Sold as Shell Only

This Husqvarna battery powered strimmer is sold as the shell only. So, if you don’t already own them, you’ll need to buy the battery and charger from us separately. Husqvarna recommends using either a 40-B220X, 40-B330X, 40-B140X, BLi200, or BLi950X battery to power this tool.

Optimised Performance with Synchronised Output

Husqvarna’s advanced battery system intelligently matches the tool’s output with the connected battery, ensuring efficient power delivery. This not only improves performance but also helps protect battery life by adjusting output when the machine is under heavy load.

Quiet Operation and All-Weather Use

With a sound pressure level of just 76 dB(A) at the user’s ear, the 520iLX Husqvarna strimmer operates far more quietly than petrol alternatives. This makes it ideal for use in residential areas or public spaces where noise levels matter. Its IPX4 weatherproof rating demonstrates the ability to operate in wet conditions, so you can work outdoors confidently throughout the year.
