Stihl HSA 26 Cordless Garden Shears – Precision Cutting for Shrubs and Grass
The Stihl HSA 26 is a compact, battery-powered cutting tool that’s all about precision. Whether you’re shaping box topiary, pruning ornamental shrubs, or tidying the lawn edges, the HSA 26 delivers clean, accurate cuts without the strain of manual shears.
It comes with two interchangeable blades — a 20 cm shrub cutter for fine shaping and a 12 cm grass trimmer for edging and groundcover. Blade changes are tool-free and take seconds, so you can move from trimming hedges to tidying lawn borders in one smooth workflow. Genuine replacements are available for both the shrub shear blade and grass shear blade.
Powered by the Stihl AS System, this versatile tool shares its battery with other compact Stihl garden machines, making it an easy addition to your cordless lineup.
Battery & Runtime Information
The Stihl HSA 26 runs on the AS 2 battery, giving you reliable power and the flexibility to share it with other tools in the Stihl AS System. Lightweight but capable, the AS 2 delivers excellent working time for both shrub and grass cutting tasks.
Battery Performance
| Battery Model | Run Time* | Charge Time** |
|---|---|---|
| AS 2 | Up to 110 minutes / approx. 30 box shrubs | AL 1 charger: ~70 minutes |
*Run time will vary depending on material thickness and working style.
**Charge time to 100% from empty.
What’s Included – Kit vs Tool Only
The Stihl HSA 26 is available as either a full kit or as the bare tool, depending on whether you already own other AS System products.

Why Gardeners Choose the HSA 26
Feel’s like a mini hedgetrimmer. It’s light, agile, and precise. For delicate shaping, the teardrop-shaped shrub cutter grips stems in place for a tidy, consistent cut, even on tricky topiary. For lawn work, the grass trimmer blade gives a crisp, clean edge around borders and paths.
Highlights
- Two included blades for multi-tasking
- Fast, tool-free blade swaps
- LED charge indicator for battery monitoring
- Ergonomic, rubberised grip for control and comfort
- Weighs just 0.8 kg — easy to handle for long periods

What the Experts Say
BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine praised the HSA 26 for its precision and versatility, calling it “an ideal tool for neat, small-scale garden jobs” with excellent ergonomics.
T3 highlighted the lightweight feel and battery endurance, noting that “switching between the shrub and grass blades is a breeze.”
Perthshire Gardening Services found it perfect for smaller gardens, saying it “handles intricate hedge shaping and quick lawn edging without fatigue.”
Popular Add-Ons and Smart Pairings
Many HSA 26 owners like to expand their toolkit for extra convenience and capability. A common pairing is with the Stihl GTA 26 mini chainsaw, which tackles thicker branches and tougher pruning jobs the shears aren’t designed for. It uses the same AS 2 battery, so you can swap power between tools without extra chargers cluttering the shed.
For those working on taller shrubs or hedges, adding either the extension shaft for the GTA 26 or the HSA 26 telescopic shaft gives long reach without a ladder. Customers say this saves time, improves safety, and reduces strain when working overhead or in awkward spaces.
Investing in these accessories is a smart move if you want one battery system to handle detailed trimming, long-reach pruning, and light sawing jobs — all without the hassle of petrol tools or extra power packs.
