The BG 56 petrol-powered blower is a breeze to use!
The ergonomic handle makes it comfortable to use over longer periods, whilst the powerful but efficient STIHL 2-MIX engine means you can clear leaves in no time. It has a round nozzle as standard, but you can buy a flat nozzle as an additional accessory to make it easier to remove stuck-on debris, such as wet leaves.
Available accessories:
- Gutter Set: The practical and approx. 3m long gutter cleaning kit for blowers and vacuum shredders allows you to blast even hard-to-reach gutters
- Vacuum Attachment: Converts the blower into a vacuum shredder. For STIHL BG 56 and BG 86.
- Curve flat nozzle: The narrow profile of the flat nozzle ensures high air speed. Perfect for removing stuck on debris (e.g. wet leaves). Its curved shape enables it to more accurately target dirt and debris.
