Honda has announced four handheld tools for its 58V battery platform: a backpack blower, chainsaw, string trimmer and hedge trimmer. Pro Tool Reviews reports that the products are planned for spring 2027 and lists prices and specifications, but they are not yet available for hands-on evaluation.
Honda has announced four handheld lawn-care tools for its 58V battery platform, extending the system beyond the company’s battery mowers with products aimed at commercial landscapers. Pro Tool Reviews reports that the backpack blower, chainsaw, string trimmer and hedge trimmer are planned to reach stores in spring 2027; performance figures and prices are based on the published product information, not independent hands-on testing.
The new models are the HBBX7550 backpack blower, HHCX1650 chainsaw, HHTX1750 string trimmer and HHHX2650 hedge trimmer. The report says Honda is also adding 2.5Ah, 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah batteries to the platform, which already has 8.0Ah and 12.0Ah options introduced alongside the mowers. Battery compatibility across every tool and configuration is not detailed in the supplied information.
Honda lists the blower at up to 750 CFM, 200 mph and 33 N of blowing force. With two 12.0Ah batteries, its stated trigger time is up to 35 minutes on high, 70 minutes on medium and 10 hours on the lowest setting. The bare tool is listed at 21 pounds; the report gives a price of $699 bare or $1,379 for a kit with two 12.0Ah batteries and a two-port rapid charger.
The 16-inch chainsaw is rated for a 14-inch cutting capacity and chain speeds up to 26 metres per second. Honda describes its output as equivalent to a 50cc gas saw, a company performance claim rather than an independently verified result. Prices are listed at $419 bare and $829 with a 5.0Ah battery and standard charger. The 17-inch string trimmer is rated at up to 5,700 rpm and 1,200 watts, which Honda places in the 26cc gas-trimmer class. Its reported kit includes a 4.0Ah battery; listed prices are $409 bare and $549 in a kit.
The hedge trimmer has a reported 26-inch cutting length and capacity of up to 1⅓ inches. The source says it offers Normal and Eco modes, but the supplied product details do not include its runtime, weight or price. Across the listed tools, the report gives a two-year commercial warranty and five-year residential warranty; buyers should check Honda’s final terms for eligibility and coverage.
A Broader Battery Line for Crews
The announcement gives professional crews more options within Honda’s 58V system rather than limiting the platform to mowers. A shared battery range can matter to operators weighing equipment purchases, since they may be able to use existing packs across multiple tools. However, the available information does not establish which batteries work with each new model, so purchasers will need to confirm compatibility before planning a fleet around the system.
Honda’s published figures also position the products against gas-powered equipment, particularly with the blower’s airflow and the company’s claimed gas-equivalent ratings for the saw and trimmer. Those comparisons may help landscapers decide which tools to evaluate, but actual performance, runtime under working conditions, durability and charging logistics remain to be tested. The spring 2027 target means crews have time to compare the lineup with competing equipment before availability.

Honda’s Move Beyond Gas Mowers
Honda said in 2023 that it would exit the gas lawn mower market, citing environmental regulations and changing consumer preferences, according to Pro Tool Reviews. The move came before Honda had a dedicated battery platform for this equipment category. The company has since introduced cordless mowers for residential and commercial users, with models released earlier in 2026 serving as the first products on the new 58V battery system.
The four handheld products extend that platform into tasks commonly handled by landscaping crews, including blowing, cutting and trimming. Pro Tool Reviews says the tools are not expected until spring 2027 and notes that the publication has not yet been able to provide hands-on impressions. The announced specifications and prices should therefore be treated as information available ahead of launch, not as test results or confirmation of final retail availability.
“The HHCX1650 chainsaw is rated to perform as well as a 50cc gas unit.”

Testing and Final Details Remain
The product information currently describes announced specifications and prices; the source says hands-on impressions are not yet available. It is not clear whether the listed prices or spring 2027 timing could change before products reach retailers. The supplied details also omit several hedge-trimmer figures, including its price, weight and runtime, and do not spell out battery compatibility for every tool.
Runtime estimates can vary with workload, operating mode, battery condition and other use factors. The source does not provide independent comparisons against gas tools or competing battery models, nor does it establish how the claimed gas-equivalent performance was measured. Final product specifications, kit contents, warranty terms and real-world results remain to be confirmed.
Watch for Launch and Test Results
Honda’s stated next milestone is spring 2027 availability. Before then, additional product information may clarify the hedge trimmer’s missing specifications, battery compatibility, final pricing and dealer availability. Prospective buyers should check Honda’s official product pages and local retailers for current details as launch approaches.
Independent testing after release will help establish how the tools perform in actual landscaping work, including runtime under load and whether the manufacturer’s gas-equivalence claims hold up in comparable conditions. Until those tests and final retail details are available, the announced figures are best treated as a preview rather than a basis for firm purchasing comparisons.
