Honda has announced four commercial-focused tools for its 58V battery platform: a backpack blower, chainsaw, string trimmer and hedge trimmer. The tools are slated for spring 2027; the reported specifications and runtime figures are manufacturer claims, and hands-on testing is not yet available.
Honda has announced four handheld tools for its 58V battery platform, expanding a system that began with its battery-powered lawn mowers. The backpack blower, chainsaw, string trimmer and hedge trimmer are aimed at commercial landscapers, but are not expected to reach stores until spring 2027.
The lineup consists of the HBBX7550 backpack blower, HHCX1650 chainsaw, HHTX1750 string trimmer and HHHX2650 hedge trimmer. Pro Tool Reviews reports that Honda has also announced 2.5Ah, 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah batteries, adding smaller capacity options to the 8.0Ah and 12.0Ah batteries introduced with the mowers.
Honda rates the backpack blower at up to 750 CFM, 200 MPH and 33 newtons of blowing force. With two 12.0Ah batteries, Honda lists up to 35 minutes of operation on high and up to 10 hours on the lowest setting. Its listed price is $699 bare, or $1,379 with two 12.0Ah batteries and a two-port rapid charger.
The chainsaw has a 16-inch bar, a stated 14-inch cutting capacity and a chain speed of up to 26 meters per second. Honda says it performs like a 50cc gas saw. It is priced at $419 bare or $829 with a 5.0Ah battery and charger. The 17-inch string trimmer is rated at 1,200 watts and up to 5,700 RPM; Honda compares it to a 26cc gas trimmer and estimates 25 minutes in Normal mode or 45 minutes in Eco mode with its 4.0Ah battery. Its listed prices are $409 bare and $549 as a kit.
The hedge trimmer has a 26-inch cutting length and a stated capacity of up to 1⅓ inches. The source describes Normal and Eco modes but does not provide a price or runtime figure for this model. All four tools are listed with two-year commercial and five-year residential warranties and an IPX4 rating.
A Broader Platform for Crews
For landscaping businesses considering battery equipment, the announcement adds several types of handheld tools to Honda’s 58V system, potentially letting crews use the same platform across mowing, blowing, cutting and trimming tasks. The range of battery capacities could also give buyers more choice between lighter packs and longer work sessions, though the source does not specify which batteries will be compatible with each tool or sold in every kit.
The published specifications offer an early basis for comparing the tools with gas-powered equipment, but they are not independent test results. Runtime in particular can vary with workload, conditions and operating mode. The spring 2027 release date leaves time before buyers can assess performance, durability, service support and the cost of equipping a crew with multiple tools and batteries.

Honda’s 58V Lineup So Far
Honda’s expansion follows its exit from the gas lawn mower market in 2023, which the source says the company attributed to environmental regulations and changing consumer preferences. Honda later developed battery-powered mowers for residential and commercial users. Those mowers, released earlier in 2026 according to Pro Tool Reviews, introduced the company’s 58V system.
The newly announced handheld products extend that platform beyond mowing. The announcement arrives as battery-powered outdoor equipment gains ground, with manufacturers promoting power and runtime as alternatives to gas models. That general market shift is background, not evidence that Honda’s new tools match a particular gas product in independent testing.
“Up to 750 CFM of air volume, air speeds of up to 200 MPH, and up to 33 N of blowing force.”

Testing, Pricing and Compatibility
The tools are not scheduled to arrive until spring 2027, so independent hands-on reviews are not yet available. The specifications and runtime estimates in the report are attributed to Honda; actual results under commercial workloads may differ. The source does not give a price for the hedge trimmer or detailed battery-kit options for every tool.
It is also unclear whether the announced smaller batteries will be included with specific products, how long they will take to charge, and whether the full 58V range will share batteries and chargers without limitations. Honda has not provided further product-release details in the supplied material.

Availability and Field Reviews
The next reported milestone is the planned spring 2027 availability of the four tools. Before then, Honda may release additional information on the hedge trimmer’s price, battery packages, charging times and availability by market. Once units are available, independent testing can assess real-world runtime, cutting and clearing performance, weight in use, and how the tools hold up during professional work.
