This move marks a significant transition for the manufacturer, which discontinued its gas-powered lawn mowers in 2023. The new lineup targets professional landscapers by utilizing a unified 58V interchangeable battery platform. ## Backpack Blower Performance The HBBX7550 represents Honda's first battery-powered leaf blower for the U.S. market, designed to rival 45cc gas-powered units. It features a brushless motor delivering 750 CFM of airflow and 200 mph speeds. Weighing up to 38.8 pounds with batteries, it includes ergonomic support straps to manage weight during extended commercial use. ## Hedge Trimmer Ergonomics The HHHX2650 hedge trimmer features a 26-inch cutting length and a 400-watt brushless motor. A key design element is the five-position rotating rear handle, which adjusts to 0, 45, or 90 degrees. This allows professionals to trim hedges from various angles without straining their wrists, while maintaining IPX4 splash resistance for durability. ## Professional Chainsaw Capabilities Equipped with a 2,500-watt brushless motor, the HHCX1650 chainsaw is the most powerful tool in the new collection. It utilizes a 16-inch Oregon bar and chain, reaching speeds of 26 meters per second. Safety features include an anti-kickback chain brake, an automatic oiling system, and an LCD screen for monitoring battery status. ## String Trimmer Design The HHTX1750 string trimmer replaces traditional four-stroke engines with a 1,200-watt brushless motor. It maintains a 17-inch cutting width and offers variable-speed control for different grass densities. A notable feature is the easy-load cutting head, which allows users to feed new line through the head and wind it into place without disassembly. ## Shared Battery Ecosystem All four tools operate on Honda's new 58V platform, allowing users to swap batteries and chargers across the entire collection. This ecosystem approach aims to reduce costs for professional operators who would otherwise need separate systems for each tool. The batteries are designed to handle high-demand tasks like moving heavy debris or pruning. ## Pricing and Availability The tools are slated for a spring 2027 release in the United States. Pricing varies significantly, with the hedge trimmer starting at $339 for the tool only, while the backpack blower kit reaches $1,379. These prices reflect the professional-grade nature of the equipment and the inclusion of high-capacity 12Ah battery packs. ## Market Impact Analysis By moving into standalone battery-powered chainsaws and blowers, Honda is directly challenging established cordless competitors. The company is leveraging its reputation as a major engine manufacturer to gain traction in the professional landscaping sector. Success will depend on the real-world durability of these brushless motors and the efficiency of the 58V battery platform. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.slashgear.com/2305297/new-honda-outdoor-power-tools-coming-out-soon/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
