Honda has announced four handheld tools for its 58V battery platform: a backpack blower, chainsaw, string trimmer and hedge trimmer. The tools are scheduled to arrive in spring 2027; Honda has published specifications and prices, but independent hands-on testing is not yet available.
Honda has announced four commercial lawn-care tools for its 58V battery platform: the HBBX7550 backpack blower, HHCX1650 chainsaw, HHTX1750 string trimmer and HHHX2650 hedge trimmer. The tools are scheduled to go on sale in spring 2027, adding handheld equipment to a battery system Honda introduced with its mowers earlier in 2026.
The announced lineup covers cleanup, cutting, trimming and hedge maintenance. Honda lists the blower at up to 750 CFM and 200 mph, with a maximum stated blowing force of 33 newtons. It is priced at $699 without batteries, or $1,379 for a kit with two 12.0Ah batteries and a two-port rapid charger. Honda’s stated runtime with those two batteries ranges from up to 35 minutes on high to up to 10 hours on the lowest setting.
The 16-inch chainsaw has a stated 14-inch cutting capacity and chain speed of up to 26 meters per second. Honda describes its performance as equivalent to a 50cc gas saw; that is the company’s comparison, not an independently verified test result. Prices are $419 bare or $829 for a kit with a 5.0Ah battery and standard charger. The tool includes metal bucking spikes, a kickback brake and a lock-off button, according to the report.
Honda lists the 17-inch string trimmer at $409 bare or $549 with a 4.0Ah battery and charger. Its stated runtime is up to 25 minutes in Normal mode and 45 minutes in Eco mode. The hedge trimmer has a 26-inch cutting length and a stated cut capacity of up to 1⅓ inches. The source material does not provide its price or full performance and runtime figures. Honda is also adding 2.5Ah, 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah batteries to the 8.0Ah and 12.0Ah options previously introduced with the mowers.
A Broader Battery Line for Crews
The announcement gives commercial landscapers a clearer view of Honda’s planned battery-powered range beyond mowers. A shared 58V platform could let crews use batteries across several tool types, though the published details do not establish which batteries will be recommended or bundled with every product. The additional battery sizes give buyers more stated capacity options, but prices for those individual batteries are not included in the supplied report.
For businesses weighing battery equipment against gas tools, the specifications and kit prices offer a starting point for budgeting. Honda’s runtime and gas-equivalence figures remain manufacturer claims; actual work time can depend on material, conditions, settings and operator use. The spring 2027 release date also means buyers cannot yet compare these tools through independent field testing.

Honda’s Move Beyond Gas Mowers
Honda said it would exit the gas lawn mower market in 2023, citing environmental regulations and changing consumer preferences, according to Pro Tool Reviews. The company later introduced battery-powered mowers aimed at residential and commercial users. Those mowers, released earlier in 2026, were the first products in its new 58V battery system, the report says.
The four handheld tools extend that platform into work often handled by commercial landscaping crews. Pro Tool Reviews reports the announced models have IPX4 ratings and carry two-year commercial and five-year residential warranties. The report says the outlet has not yet tested the new tools hands-on because they are not due until spring 2027.

Testing and Final Buying Details
The specifications available so far are largely manufacturer-provided figures, and independent hands-on results are not yet available. It remains unclear how the tools will perform across sustained commercial workloads, how their stated runtimes will translate into particular jobs, and how the chainsaw’s and blower’s claimed comparisons will hold up in testing.
The supplied report does not give a price for the hedge trimmer or the new batteries, nor does it provide the hedge trimmer’s full runtime and performance details. Honda has not, in the material provided, specified exact release dates, availability by market, or whether the announced spring 2027 schedule could change.
Availability Expected in Spring 2027
The next major milestone is the planned spring 2027 launch. Before then, Honda may release additional product, battery and availability information. Independent testing after the tools reach reviewers or retailers should help clarify performance, runtime and practical comparisons with gas equipment; those results are not yet available.
