About the STIHL SH 86 Petrol Handheld Leaf Blower & Vacuum Shredder
The STIHL SH 86 Petrol Blower/Vacuum Shredder is an exceptional tool designed for those who need to manage extensive areas with large accumulations of leaves and garden debris. This versatile machine serves as both a powerful leaf blower and a vacuum shredder, making it an indispensable tool for maintaining your garden. Additionally, its 2-MIX engine delivers high performance while remaining fuel-efficient and eco-friendly.
Easy conversion for versatile use
One of the standout features of the SH 86 is its ability to easily convert from a vacuum shredder to a handheld blower. Quickly go from blowing away leaves to vacuuming them up for shredding with minimal effort. The specific shredder blade on the fan wheel significantly reduces garden waste volume, making it easier to dispose of or use as mulch.
User-friendly design
Designed with comfort in mind, the STIHL SH 86 features soft grip handles, which combined with STIHL’s anti-vibration system, reduces vibrations and therefore operator fatigue. The ergonomic single-handed control makes it suitable for extended use, allowing you to work for longer periods without discomfort. The locking throttle trigger, with a stop button and infinitely variable locking control switch, provides precise control over the tool’s power and performance.
Reliable and easy to start
Starting the blower and vacuum shredder is easy, thanks to the STIHL ElastoStart system. This innovative feature ensures a smooth start every time, reducing the effort required to get the machine started. The manual fuel pump provides additional reliability, ensuring that fuel is delivered to the carburettor efficiently, even after long periods of storage.

Fantastic well built machine, I’ve used the vacuum more than the blower and it seems to ingest everything in its path, can’t recommend this time saving piece of kit.
I was not 100% sure if this piece of kit was a sensible purchase, 3 weeks of cherry tree leaves have confirmed it as a solid autumn purchase, also blowing grass clippings from the patio back onto the lawn has been an added bonus!
Richard Smith –
I have a lot of garden machinery and it’s all Honda powered (4 Stroke) or powered by Honda clones. This is my first 2-stroke machine for a long time, it works brilliantly. I haven’t tried the gutter kit yet but it looks like it will work well. It starts first pull, no smoke (it’s a very weak mixture 50:1) not too heavy and the build quality looks great. Everything clips together with a confidence inspiring click. It shreds the leaves as it collects them, the collection bag holds a lot of shredded leaves, which are easy to transfer to the composter by opening the large and very industrial size zip. I guess it will also work well as a blower, but I have a Honda blower for that.
Roger –
a great machine very powerful and made light work of small sticks and damp/wet leaves.
Colin Sinclair –
Really pleased with this machine. Over the years I have had a few cheap blowers and this was a big step up for me. It is clearly a much better build and design than what I have been used to. We have a large garden with a lot of trees and this really helps clear up, very easy to start and well balanced.
