Greenworks 40V 24 in. Cordless Hedge Trimmer HT40B212 (substituted for STIHL HSA 60): What to Know
The STIHL HSA 60 was on the original candidate list, but STIHL's distribution model rules it out for an Amazon buying guide. STIHL sells exclusively through its network of authorized dealers, by design, so that buyers get in-person setup, service, and warranty support; it does not sell the HSA 60, or any of its power tools, through Amazon. What you will find on Amazon under the STIHL name is aftermarket batteries and accessories compatible with STIHL's AK-series tools, not the trimmer itself, and those aren't from STIHL. Since there's no genuine listing to verify, we substituted a comparable homeowner-grade cordless hedge trimmer that is actually sold on Amazon.
The Greenworks 40V 24 in. HT40B212 is a straightforward, no-surprises pick for that role. It's a complete kit: a 2.0Ah USB-rechargeable battery and charger are included in the box, so there's no separate battery purchase to plan for, unlike the DEWALT and Makita options in this guide. The 24-inch dual-action, laser-cut blade has a 1-inch cut capacity, on par with the RYOBI, and Greenworks rates the tool at roughly 60 minutes of runtime and 5.7 pounds, both very competitive numbers for the price bracket.
Where it gives ground to the pricier options here is raw cutting power and brand ecosystem depth. Greenworks' 40V platform is real but smaller than EGO's, RYOBI's, or Makita's, so if you're looking to build out a broader battery-powered yard toolkit over time, that's worth weighing. For someone who just wants a capable, complete, ready-to-use hedge trimmer at a lower price point than the rest of this list, it's a sound choice.
