Honda has announced four commercial handheld lawn tools for its 58V battery platform: a backpack blower, chainsaw, string trimmer and hedge trimmer. They are scheduled for spring 2027, and Honda has published performance details and U.S. prices; independent hands-on testing is not yet available.
Honda has announced four commercial handheld lawn tools for its 58V battery platform, extending a system that began with the company’s battery-powered mowers. The lineup comprises a backpack blower, chainsaw, string trimmer and hedge trimmer, with availability planned for spring 2027. Honda has released specifications and prices, but the tools have not yet been available for independent hands-on testing.
The new models are the HBBX7550 backpack blower, HHCX1650 chainsaw, HHTX1750 string trimmer and HHHX2650 hedge trimmer. Honda is also adding 2.5Ah, 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah batteries to the platform, which already includes 8.0Ah and 12.0Ah options introduced with its mowers.
Honda lists the blower at up to 750 CFM, 200 mph and 33 newtons of blowing force. With two 12.0Ah batteries, the company estimates up to 35 minutes on high, 70 minutes on medium and 10 hours on the lowest setting. The blower is priced at $699 bare or $1,379 in a kit with two 12.0Ah batteries and a two-port rapid charger.
The 16-inch chainsaw has a stated 14-inch cutting capacity and chain speed of up to 26 meters per second. Honda says it is equivalent in performance to a 50cc gas saw; that is the company’s comparison, not an independent test result. Prices are $419 bare or $829 with a 5.0Ah battery and standard charger. The 17-inch string trimmer is listed at $409 bare or $549 with a 4.0Ah battery. Honda estimates up to 25 minutes in Normal mode and 45 minutes in Eco mode. The hedge trimmer has a 26-inch cutting length and stated capacity up to 1⅓ inches; its price and detailed runtime information were not included in the supplied report.
A Broader Battery Choice for Crews
The announcement gives commercial landscapers a view of how Honda plans to extend its 58V system beyond mowers. A shared battery platform can be relevant to crews weighing equipment costs, charging logistics and whether to standardize tools around one manufacturer. Honda’s addition of several battery capacities also points to options for balancing tool weight, runtime and purchase price.
For contractors considering a move away from gas equipment, the published figures offer a starting point for comparison, particularly for blower output and the chainsaw’s claimed gas equivalence. They do not settle questions about performance over a full workday, durability, charging speed or battery replacement costs. Those factors will need practical evaluation once the tools reach the market.

Honda’s 58V Platform Takes Shape
Honda announced in 2023 that it would leave the gas lawn mower market, citing environmental regulations and changing consumer preferences, according to the supplied Pro Tool Reviews report. The company has since introduced battery-powered mowers for residential and commercial users. Those mowers, released earlier in 2026, were the first products using Honda’s new 58V battery system.
The four handheld models announced now are the next stated expansion of that platform. Their planned spring 2027 release means buyers have a wait before they can compare the equipment in stores or on job sites. The product information available so far consists of Honda’s stated specifications and pricing, as reported by Pro Tool Reviews.
“The HBBX7550 is rated for up to 750 CFM, air speeds of up to 200 mph and up to 33 N of blowing force.”

Testing and Hedge Trimmer Details
Independent performance results are not yet available, and the tools are not scheduled to arrive until spring 2027. Runtime figures are estimates supplied by Honda and can vary with workload, operating mode, battery condition and other conditions. The supplied report does not provide a price for the hedge trimmer, nor does it include full runtime or battery-kit details for that model.
It is also not yet clear how the tools will perform in extended commercial use, how quickly their batteries recharge, or whether the stated gas-equivalent performance will hold across different tasks. Warranty terms listed for the other models are two years for commercial use and five years for residential use; the supplied material does not specify the hedge trimmer’s warranty.

Spring 2027 Release and Testing
Honda says the four tools are planned for spring 2027. Before then, buyers can compare the announced specifications and prices with existing equipment, while awaiting more details on the hedge trimmer and battery kits. Independent reviews and field testing after release should provide a clearer basis for judging runtime, cutting performance, durability and suitability for professional crews.
