About the STIHL HLE 71 Electric Hedge Trimmer
Effortless Hedge Trimming at Height
The STIHL HLE 71 electric hedge trimmer is perfect for reaching tall or wide hedges with minimal effort. With a total length of 2.54 metres, this long-reach tool makes it easy to trim without ladders. Whether you’re shaping tall hedges or working across wide areas, it gives you comfortable access and full control.
Powerful Electric Performance Without the Noise
Powered by a 600-watt electric motor, the HLE 71 offers quiet yet reliable trimming performance. This low-noise design makes it ideal for neighbourhood use or quieter areas. There’s no need for ear protection, and there’s no petrol engine to maintain or refuel. Just plug it in and start working straight away.
Adjustable Cutting Head for Versatile Trimming
The adjustable cutting head can be set anywhere from 0 to 125 degrees for the perfect working angle. This gives you flexibility for trimming vertically, horizontally, or at an angle to suit the job. Whether working high or low, you can achieve a clean, even finish with ease.
Comfortable Design for Long Sessions
To reduce fatigue, the HLE 71 features both a soft grip and loop handle for better support and movement. The ergonomic handle absorbs vibrations, improving comfort and control during longer trimming sessions. A shoulder harness is also included, helping distribute weight more evenly across your body.
Easy to Handle and Manoeuvre
The rotating harness eyelet allows the trimmer to pivot freely while attached to the harness. This makes it easier to move without twisting your arms or body. Whether you’re switching sides or working around corners, the HLE 71 stays easy to manage.
Cut Precisely and Cleanly
With a cutting length of 50 cm, this hedge trimmer is ideal for maintaining large surface areas in fewer passes. The blade delivers a sharp, clean finish to every cut, reducing the risk of tearing or damaging branches. It’s designed for performance and precision, even during more demanding tasks.
Built-In Cable Management for Safety
A 10-metre power cable provides a generous working range around most small to medium gardens. The cable strain relief feature prevents accidental unplugging by securing the cord during use. This adds safety and convenience, so you can focus on trimming without interruption.
Compact and Easy to Store
Once the job is done, the cutting head can be folded parallel to the shaft for easier transport and storage. This makes it ideal for users with limited shed or garage space. It packs down neatly, yet opens up fully when it’s time to work.
A Reliable Choice for High Hedge Maintenance
If you need to keep tall or wide hedges looking sharp, the STIHL HLE 71 is an excellent choice. Its combination of power, quiet operation, and long reach makes trimming safer and easier. Enjoy a cleaner, neater finish with every use, without ever needing a ladder.
STIHL Warranty
The HLE 71 is covered for a period of 2 years from the date of purchase by the owner, when used for the designed purpose of that product by domestic users. Terms and conditions apply. Garden Machinery Direct will register the warranty with STIHL for you.

Quiet, low vibration, nice cutter.
Beryl –
It works well and good quality, well made, but required a younger man’s stamina to operate for more than 30 minutes at a time.
Antony Robinson –
Really pleased. Good service from company and very easy to assemble and use. Thanks
Simon –
Great trimmers. Cut like a hot knife through butter. Good reach but they become a bit tiring after prolonged horizontal use. Quiet operation too compared to other trimmers I’ve used.
J Ruskin –
Good product, easy to use once initial technique is learned
Jingle –
Pros:
The quietest hedge trimmer I’ve ever used/heard anyone else using.
Cons:
Loop handle is a really cheap, fiddly to attach assembly which is rubbish at this price point.
Should include an end of blade protector at this price point also.
Heavy with a shoulder strap that isn’t padded at all – again not ok at all at this price point.
Anders Astrom –
Versatile tool. Stihl is known for there robust quality build and this is no exception. The blade adjustment is a useful feature in tight areas. The extended reach makes it efficient for taller hedges but also puts additional strain on the arm muscles.
Filwud –
Well made, worked perfectly. Gets heavy with prolonged use even with strap. But no way round that easy to assemble. Long lead is great
