Honda has announced four handheld tools for its 58V outdoor-power platform: a backpack blower, chainsaw, string trimmer and hedge trimmer. The products are scheduled for spring 2027, and the published performance and runtime figures are manufacturer claims; independent hands-on testing is not yet available.
Honda has announced four handheld tools for its 58V battery platform, expanding a system previously introduced with the company’s battery-powered mowers. The new backpack blower, chainsaw, string trimmer and hedge trimmer are aimed at commercial landscapers, but are not scheduled to reach the market until spring 2027.
The lineup consists of the HBBX7550 backpack blower, HHCX1650 chainsaw, HHTX1750 string trimmer and HHHX2650 hedge trimmer. Honda has also announced 2.5Ah, 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah batteries to join the 8.0Ah and 12.0Ah packs already introduced with its mowers. The report says the smaller batteries are intended to expand the platform’s options; it does not provide full details on their pricing or availability.
Honda lists the blower at up to 750 CFM, 200 mph and 33 newtons of blowing force. With two 12.0Ah batteries, Honda estimates up to 35 minutes of runtime on high and up to 10 hours on its lowest setting. It weighs 21 pounds without batteries, or 38.8 pounds with the two-pack configuration. Listed prices are $699 bare and $1,379 for a kit with two 12.0Ah batteries and a two-port rapid charger.
The 16-inch-bar chainsaw has a stated 14-inch cutting capacity and chain speed of up to 26 metres per second. Honda describes its output as equivalent to a 50cc gas saw and estimates up to 33 minutes at maximum speed with the included 5.0Ah battery. Prices are $419 bare or $829 as a kit. The 17-inch string trimmer is rated at up to 5,700 rpm, with Honda citing 25 minutes in Normal mode and 45 minutes in Eco mode using its 4.0Ah kit battery. It is listed at $409 bare or $549 as a kit. Both tools have stated IPX4 ratings and commercial and residential warranty terms of two and five years, respectively.
A Bigger 58V Lineup for Crews
The announcement gives professional landscaping businesses a clearer picture of Honda’s intended battery-powered tool range beyond its mowers. A shared platform could let crews use batteries across multiple types of equipment, though the practical value will depend on compatibility, pack availability, charging time and performance during sustained work. Those points cannot yet be assessed from specifications alone.
Honda’s figures place the products in competition with high-output battery equipment and, in the company’s descriptions, with gas-powered tools. For contractors weighing a switch, the listed kit prices, estimated runtimes and tool weights offer an initial basis for comparison. They are not independent test results, and real-world runtime will vary with workload, settings, battery condition and operating conditions.

Honda’s Move to Battery Equipment
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 company later developed battery-powered mowers for residential and commercial users. Those mowers, released earlier in 2026, introduced Honda’s new 58V system; the handheld tools announced now are its next planned expansion.
The announcement reflects a wider equipment-market shift toward cordless products, but it does not establish that battery tools will replace gas models for every commercial job. The relevant comparison depends on the work, battery supply, charging access and measured performance. Pro Tool Reviews says it has not yet been able to provide hands-on findings because the Honda tools are not due until spring 2027.

Testing and Availability Still Ahead
Independent performance results are not yet available. Honda’s output, gas-equivalence and runtime figures should be treated as manufacturer ratings or estimates until the tools can be tested under comparable conditions. The report does not provide a confirmed release date beyond spring 2027, nor does it detail distribution, regional availability or whether prices may change before launch.
Some product information is also incomplete in the supplied report. It provides only limited detail about the hedge trimmer, including its 26-inch cutting length, stated capacity of up to 1⅓ inches and Normal and Eco operating modes; it does not give a full price, runtime, weight or battery configuration. Full specifications for the newly announced smaller batteries are also not stated.

Full Details Due Before Launch
Honda’s stated next milestone is a spring 2027 release. Before then, buyers will need confirmed availability, finalized specifications and complete pricing—particularly for the hedge trimmer and new battery sizes. Independent reviews can assess the company’s claims once production tools are available. Until those details emerge, contractors can use the announcement as an early outline of Honda’s planned 58V range, not as a final performance comparison.
