The STIHL BG 56 is a highly effective and robust handheld petrol blower designed to make light work of clearing leaves, grass cuttings, and general debris from paths, driveways, and gardens. Part of STIHL's respected range of outdoor power equipment, it combines a powerful engine with user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for homeowners, landscapers, and municipal workers seeking efficient and reliable clearing performance.
Features
- Powerful STIHL 2-MIX Engine: At the core of the BG 56 is STIHL's innovative 2-MIX engine (typically 27.2 cm³ displacement, 0.7 kW / 1.0 hp output). This engine technology offers significant advantages over traditional 2-stroke engines:
- Reduced Emissions: Complies with strict EU Stage V emissions directives, making it more environmentally friendly.
- Improved Fuel Efficiency: Up to 20% lower fuel consumption than conventional 2-stroke engines, saving you money on fuel.
- High Performance: Delivers strong blowing power for effective and fast clearing.
- Lightweight: The engine's design contributes to the overall low weight of the blower.
- High Blowing Force: The BG 56 generates a significant blowing force (typically 13 N) with impressive air speeds (up to 71 m/s max air velocity or 159 mph) and air throughput (up to 700 m³/h with a round nozzle). This ensures it can effectively clear both dry and damp debris.
- Manual Fuel Pump (Purger): A small manual fuel pump (primer bulb) delivers fuel to the carburetor at the touch of a button. This significantly reduces the number of starting strokes required, especially after longer breaks in operation, ensuring quick and effortless starts.
- Multi-Function Control Handle: All key operating controls (throttle, stop switch) are conveniently located on a single, comfortable handle. This allows for easy, thumb-operated control, meaning your hand never has to leave the handle during operation, enhancing safety and convenience.
- Lightweight Design: Weighing in at just 4.1 kg (without fuel), the BG 56 is easy to handle and maneuver, reducing user fatigue even during extended periods of use.
- Ergonomic Design: The ergonomically shaped handle provides a secure and comfortable grip, further contributing to user comfort.
- Round Nozzle: Comes standard with a round nozzle, which delivers a concentrated stream of air for powerful, targeted blowing action.
- Stop Button: Features a simple stop button for immediate engine shut-down, enhancing safety and making restarts quick as the switch automatically resets to the "run" position.
- Durable Construction: Built with STIHL's signature robust and high-tech polymer housing, ensuring durability and resistance to impacts and corrosion in various weather conditions.
- Weight (without fuel): 4.1 kg
