ALPHARETTA, Ga., Oct. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Honda Power Sports & Products today announced an all-new Honda 58V battery-powered handheld lineup, a professional-grade family of power equipment products that expands the Honda battery-powered lawn and garden (L&G) portfolio beyond lawn mowers to the handheld tools landscaping crews rely on every day. The new lineup combines Honda quality, durability, high-output performance and operator comfort with the practical advantages of battery power, including easy starting, no gasoline required, quieter operation for residential and noise-sensitive properties, reduced vibration, and zero exhaust emissions during use.

The all-new commercial handheld models include the Honda HBBX7550 backpack blower, HHHX2650 hedge trimmer, HHCX1650 chainsaw and HHTX1750 string trimmer—all powered by a shared 58V battery and charger platform that allows the same batteries and chargers to be used across multiple handheld tools. The lineup will make its public debut at Equip Exposition 2026, scheduled for October 20-23 at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky.

The launch reflects the growing role of battery-powered equipment in the North American landscaping industry, where professional crews increasingly value lower-noise operation, easier starting, reduced vibration, and application-specific features that support comfort and productivity during repeated daily use in noise-sensitive and emissions-restricted work environments. The new lineup also reflects the Honda commitment to deliver battery-powered tools with the durability and work efficiency professional crews expect while expanding its portfolio to support the full range of landscaping work.

“With our all-new 58V battery-powered handheld lineup, Honda is expanding our battery-powered lawn and garden portfolio with commercial-grade tools engineered to deliver the high-output performance, durability and ease of use professional landscapers expect for the core tasks crews manage every day,” said Barry Dlugasz, Director of Sales, Service and Marketing, Power Equipment, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “These products are designed around a shared battery platform, allowing the same batteries and chargers to be used across multiple handheld tools while supporting the full landscaping workflow—from trimming and edging to pruning, cutting, clearing and cleanup.”
