The STIHL KM 0.5m Alloy Extension Shaft is the essential intermediate link for the professional landscaper who needs surgical precision at heights where a full 1-metre pole becomes unwieldy. While most retailers focus solely on the 1m carbon variant, the 0.5m aluminium version is the “sweet spot” for maintaining perfect balance and control when using heavy-duty attachments like the HL-KM 145° hedge trimmer or the HT-KM pole pruner. Weighing in at a feather-light 0.6 kg, this rigid alloy shaft effectively doubles your working radius without the “whip” or flex associated with longer extensions. It is specifically designed for the STIHL KombiSystem, featuring a tool-free, high-torque coupling that ensures zero power loss between the engine and the tool head, making it the superior choice for dense Irish hawthorn or high-reaching laurel hedges.
