The Stihl BGA 56 is a powerful & compact cordless blower which makes light work of damp leaves & light garden debris. Don’t just take our word for it, the BGA 56 has an official ' Quiet Mark', confirming it as one of the quietest tools available to purchase, it was also named a ' Gardener’s World Best Buy' giving you increased consumer confidence. Stihl’s leading-edge Pro lithium battery range is extremely popular with homeowners and contractors due to its cable-free design. They offer an environmentally-friendly alternative to petrol as they produce zero emissions and have minimal running costs. There is a range of battery & charger options available which are all sold separately. There are two stages to the battery connection; the 1st stage is neutral which leaves the battery in position for transportation, but not connected; the 2nd connects the battery for use. The BGA 56 produces a blowing force of 9 knots & kicks out a very effective maximum airspeed of 54m/s. Some blowers can be heavy & awkward, but the BGA 56 is lightweight & has adjustable blow tubes to minimise the need to stoop.
