Professional Power for Demanding Hedge Work

The STIHL HS 82 RC-E is a professional-grade petrol hedge trimmer equipped with STIHL’s advanced 2-MIX engine technology. It features a robust double-sided cutting blade specifically designed to power through the toughest of hedges, making it an ideal choice for both the first significant cut of the season and regular maintenance tasks. Thanks to a reduction in weight and increased efficiency, the HS 82 RC-E makes light work of demanding trimming jobs, delivering reliable performance and durability through its high-quality blades and gearbox.

As an authorised STIHL UK dealer with a history stretching back over 100 years, Sims Garden Machinery provides more than just a box. Every petrol hedge trimmer purchased from us is backed by the support of our trained sales staff and expert mechanics in our Stratford-upon-Avon workshop. For local customers, this includes a complimentary Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI), ensuring your machine is fully built, tested, and ready to use. This is followed by personal delivery and a comprehensive handover demonstration, so you can operate your new tool safely and effectively from day one.

Advanced Features for Superior Performance

The HS 82 RC-E is packed with features to enhance usability, comfort, and efficiency.

STIHL 2-MIX Engine

This highly power-efficient 2-stroke engine reduces exhaust emissions and fuel consumption, lowering operating costs. It is low-maintenance and uses fuel effectively even at high power levels, complying with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive.

STIHL ErgoStart (E)

STIHL ErgoStart saves energy when starting the machine. A smooth, even pull on the starter cord is all that’s needed. An additional spring between the crankshaft and starter cord roll makes starting significantly easier and more reliable, even with a slow pull.

Cutting Variation (R)

The ‘R’ version is designed for large-volume pruning. The blades feature a large tooth spacing and increased blade height. Combined with a specific gear ratio, this configuration delivers a very high cutting force, ideal for cutting back thick hedges and shrubs quickly and easily.

Rotatable Multi-Function Handle

For ergonomic and comfortable working, the handle can be rotated 90 degrees to the left and right. This enables precise cutting at your side or at head height and is suitable for both left- and right-handed users, ensuring the tool is always in the most effective position.

STIHL Anti-Vibration System

To ensure more pleasant work over extended periods, buffer and spring elements within the machine reduce the transmission of engine vibrations to the handle area. This makes the hedge trimmer more comfortable to hold and your work significantly less tiring.

Operator Convenience

The HS 82 RC-E also includes several features for convenience. A manual fuel pump reduces the number of starting strokes required after breaks in operation, while the electronic ignition system ensures reliable starting and trouble-free running. Tool-free fuel caps with a bayonet closure make refuelling quick and simple, and an integrated hanging eyelet in the handle allows for safe and compact storage.
