BG 56 petrol leaf blower: a handy, lightweight and versatile blower

The STIHL BG 56 petrol blower is handy and easy to use. This leaf blower with round nozzle effectively supports homeowners, landscapers and municipal workerswho need to remove leaves or grass clippings quickly and efficiently. You can use the 4.1 kg device in a variety of ways.

The leaf blower is powered by a STIHL 2-MIX engine. You can control the STIHL BG 56 blower conveniently using the ergonomically shaped handle on the tool which integrates single-handed operation and a stop button. Thanks to a manual fuel pump, you can feed the fuel directly into the carburettor with the push of a button. This reduces the number of pulls needed to start the tool, even after a prolonged break in operation.

You can retrofit STIHL ElastoStartto avoid the need for jerky movements during the start-up process. You can also equip this STIHL BG 56 petrol leaf blower with the optional STIHL gutter cleaning set to clear out gutters. The STIHL BG 56 can also be combined with the STIHL vacuum attachment set to allow it to be used as a leaf vacuum and vacuum shredder.
