The STIHL HTA 66 is a very lightweight and powerful cordless pole pruner designed for maintaining grounds, gardens, and orchards. With a total length of 240 cm, it provides significant reach for pruning tasks. This model is fitted with a 1/4″ PM3 saw chain that ensures low vibration and delivers a clean, precise cut every time. The lightweight power head contributes to excellent manoeuvrability and balance, reducing operator fatigue during extended use.
Engineered for convenience, the HTA 66 features side-mounted chain tensioning and a captive nut on the sprocket cover, simplifying maintenance. A sturdy branch hook is also integrated to assist with the removal of cuttings from the tree canopy. Please be aware that this is a ‘Tool Only’ product; the battery and charger are sold separately.

The high-efficiency EC motor is compact, lightweight, and requires minimal maintenance, enabling you to work in an energy-efficient manner. The tool’s excellent balance, achieved by the optimal centre of gravity of the battery, creates a low tilting torque for fatigue-free operation. The intuitive control handle includes a self-resetting locking switch to prevent accidental activation and is suitable for both left-handed and right-handed users, ensuring comfortable and safe operation for everyone.
