Honda has announced four handheld tools for its 58V battery platform: a backpack blower, chainsaw, string trimmer and hedge trimmer. The lineup is scheduled to reach stores in spring 2027, and the published performance figures and prices have not yet been independently tested by Pro Tool Reviews.
Honda has announced four handheld tools for its 58V battery platform, expanding a system that began with its battery-powered mowers. The backpack blower, chainsaw, string trimmer and hedge trimmer are aimed at commercial landscapers, but are not expected to be available until spring 2027.
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, alongside the 8.0Ah and 12.0Ah batteries introduced with its mowers.
According to the specifications reported by Pro Tool Reviews, the blower is rated for up to 750 CFM, 200 mph and 33 newtons of blowing force. Honda estimates up to 35 minutes of trigger time on high with two 12.0Ah batteries, or up to 10 hours on the lowest setting. The listed price is $699 for the tool alone or $1,379 for a kit 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 claimed performance equivalence to a 50cc gas saw. Its listed prices are $419 bare or $829 with a 5.0Ah battery and charger. The string trimmer has a 17-inch cutting swath and two operating modes; Honda estimates up to 25 minutes in Normal mode and 45 minutes in Eco mode with its 4.0Ah kit battery. Prices are $409 bare and $549 as a kit. Pro Tool Reviews also lists a 26-inch hedge-trimmer blade and cutting capacity of up to 1⅓ inches, but the supplied report does not provide its price or further runtime details.
Honda’s 58V Lineup Expands
The announcement gives professional landscaping crews more detail about Honda’s plans for a shared battery platform beyond its mowers. If the tools perform as their published specifications suggest, crews may be able to use the same battery family across several outdoor jobs, from trimming and hedge maintenance to clearing debris and cutting wood.
That potential is relevant to contractors considering a move away from gas equipment, but the announcement alone does not establish how the tools will perform on a workday. Actual runtime depends on conditions and use, and the listed figures come from manufacturer specifications rather than independent testing. The 2027 release date also means buyers cannot yet compare the tools in person or build a fleet around them.

From Mowers to Handheld Tools
Honda announced it would leave the gas lawn-mower market in 2023, according to the background in Pro Tool Reviews’ report. In the years since, it has introduced battery-powered mowers for residential and commercial users. Those mowers, released earlier in 2026, were the first products on Honda’s new 58V system, according to the report.
The four handheld products extend that platform into equipment commonly used by landscaping crews. The new batteries also broaden the available capacity choices: the smaller packs may suit lighter tools, while the 8.0Ah and 12.0Ah options are the larger batteries already offered with the mowers. The report does not detail which battery sizes will be compatible with every new tool or available in each kit.
“The blower delivers up to 35 minutes of trigger time on high, up to 70 minutes in medium, and up to 10 hours on the lowest setting with two 12.0Ah batteries.”

Testing and Kit Details Remain
The reported specifications are not a substitute for independent testing. Pro Tool Reviews says it cannot share hands-on findings before the products are available, so real-world power, runtime, handling and durability remain unverified. Battery estimates can also vary with workload, vegetation, temperature and operating mode.
Some product information is incomplete in the source report. It does not state the hedge trimmer’s price, provide its runtime estimate or spell out all battery-and-charger kit combinations. The exact spring 2027 release date, availability by market, dealer details and whether prices will change are also not provided. The report does not identify which battery sizes will be sold with each tool beyond the listed kits for the blower, chainsaw and string trimmer.
Availability Expected in Spring 2027
The next stated milestone is the planned spring 2027 availability of the four tools. Before then, Honda may publish additional details on the hedge trimmer, battery compatibility, kit contents and sales channels; none of those details is confirmed in the supplied report.
Once the products are available, independent testing and field use should help establish how their performance compares with the published ratings. For now, landscapers can use the announced prices and specifications as preliminary planning information, while treating runtime and gas-equivalence figures as manufacturer claims rather than tested outcomes.
