About the STIHL Vacuum Attachment For Petrol Blowers (BG 56/86)
The STIHL Vacuum Attachment for Petrol Blowers is a practical and efficient accessory designed to turn your STIHL BG 56 or BG 86 blower into a versatile garden vacuum. Instead of simply blowing leaves and debris into piles, this attachment allows you to collect and shred garden waste directly into an attached bag, making tidying up your outdoor spaces faster, cleaner, and more convenient.
Perfect for homeowners who want more flexibility from their tools, this vacuum kit is ideal for clearing leaves, grass clippings, small twigs, and light garden debris from patios, pathways, lawns, and driveways. By converting your blower into a vacuum, you can work more precisely in tight areas and collect debris neatly—saving both time and effort during regular garden maintenance.
Two Tools in One for Efficient Cleanup
With this attachment installed, your compatible STIHL blower instantly becomes a powerful garden vacuum and shredder. Instead of blowing material away, the machine draws debris through the suction tube and shreds it before depositing it into the collection bag. This reduces the volume of material, allowing you to work longer between emptying and making disposal or composting far easier.
Designed for the STIHL BG 56 and BG 86
This vacuum kit is specifically engineered for two of STIHL’s most popular petrol blowers:
- STIHL BG 56
- STIHL BG 86
These machines are already known for their strong performance and ease of use, and this attachment expands their capability even further. Installation is straightforward, with purpose-designed components that fit securely and maintain high airflow efficiency during operation.
Lightweight Handling and Practical Design
The vacuum components are lightweight yet durable, ensuring comfortable handling even during longer tasks. The suction tube is ergonomically shaped for easier manoeuvring around borders, flowerbeds, and hard-to-reach corners, while the collection bag is designed for efficient airflow and quick emptying.
The shredding function helps reduce bulk, meaning you collect more material with less frequent stops. This makes the vacuum kit especially useful in autumn when leaves accumulate quickly.
Ideal for Precise Work and Cleaner Results
Unlike blowing, which moves debris but doesn’t remove it, vacuum mode lets you clean with precision. It’s perfect for delicate areas such as gravel paths, patios with gaps, or around potted plants—areas where blowing might scatter debris rather than collect it.
Whether you’re tidying after mowing, collecting dry leaves, or keeping pathways clear, the STIHL Vacuum Attachment enables a tidier, more controlled finish.
A Practical Upgrade for Everyday Garden Tasks
If you already own a BG 56 or BG 86, this attachment is a cost-effective way to expand your tool’s versatility without purchasing a separate vacuum machine. With easy installation, efficient collection, and reliable STIHL build quality, it’s a valuable addition to your garden toolkit.
Turn your blower into a powerful vacuum and enjoy cleaner, easier garden maintenance with the STIHL Vacuum Attachment for Petrol Blowers.
