Bought for my wife who needed something reasonably light and more manageable than the Sthil strimmer. She loves it, not as powerful as the Sthil but easily powerful enough to tackle most garden chores and much lighter and more compact.

I’ve recently lost mobility in both my hands, as a result I am unable to use regular garden tools.
These a the best garden purchase I’ve made. Super light and easy to use. Also well balanced for equal weight distribution. So good that I bought the extension for them. Brilliant service from Brian’s.

Absolutely brilliant . Light and easy to use. Very manageable. Especially good if you are older. I have used them a lot and will continue to do so.

Stihl HSA26: A very nice tool that makes cutting around edges much easier. Also seems quite robust. Excellent service from Briants. I hope to buy more from them soon.

Quality product from Stihl. Have mostly used the shrub pruner so far – works much better than I expected and can cope with quite large bushes. Well designed and blade changing is simple. Battery life is extraordinary, I haven’t got the indicator (a nice touch this) below halfway yet. Can’t yet see what use the little grass trimmer will be, though.
Here’s the but…
BUT: It looks like the set is delivered in a handy, tough square framed bag. It isn’t. Take it out of the cardboard outer packing and find out the hard way that it has no ends!! So the battery and one of the shears that had worked loose in transit immediately fell out and hit the concrete floor. Luckily, no apparent damage so far. The bag is no more than an awkward tool roll with fiddly straps to hold the tool components. Awful piece of design and a whole star therefore deducted. If you want a carry box, keep the outer cardboard one and put the bag inside it – Stihl have helpfully punched a hole in the top so the bag handle pokes through and the cardboard keeps it all together. Unbelievable.
Briants service excellent: helpful people and fast delivery.

Excellent light-weight tool, vastly superior for trimming shrubs than classic garden shears. Also found the small shear head did an excellent job in cutting any long grass around the edges of the lawn where the lawnmower could not access. I also agree with other reviewers that the battery life was far better than I had expected for such a small unit. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Very pleased with my Stihl trimmer, I bought it specifically for topiary as I find my large trimmers quite heavy for this job. My daughter also used it and was impressed. Have used it to give beech hedge a little interim tidy up. Long battery life. Would agree with previous reviewer that the case is an irritating useless object. Will probably end up in bin. Overall an excellent addition to my Stihl battery tool collection which served me well through many years as a professional
gardener.

Like the Stihl pruner, got all my perennials done in an hour. Have not used the grass cutter yet. I can recommend the pruner, better than using secateurs all the time.
Delivery & service was excellent too! Thank you.
