STIHL Sliders & Sleeves

Sliders and sleeves are small components in a hedge trimmer blade, but they’re needed to keep the blades moving and support the cutting mechanism. These small parts undergo friction every time you turn your machine on, so they eventually wear, deform or become damaged.

STIHL Hedge Trimmer Blade Sliders & Sleeves

Our range includes STIHL hedge trimmer blade sliders, sleeves, spacers, pins and related components for a variety of petrol and cordless hedge trimmer models.

The range includes blade sliders for models such as the HS75, HS80, HS46, HS56, HSE61, HSE70, HLA56 and HSA56, as well as replacement sleeves in several different sizes. Some older STIHL hedge trimmers also have different slider designs depending on their production date, so it is important to check whether your machine requires a pre-1999 or post-1999 component.

Choosing the Correct STIHL Slider or Sleeve

These are highly model-specific components, and even closely related STIHL hedge trimmers likely use different designs or dimensions. Check your exact machine model and STIHL part number before ordering. Where relevant, pay particular attention to production date and whether your machine uses an earlier or later version.
