STIHL SHA 56 Cordless Vacuum Shredder & Blower (Promo Kit)

Revolutionise your garden maintenance with the STIHL SHA 56 Cordless Vacuum Shredder and Blower. This innovative 2-in-1 tool from STIHL’s domestic AK battery system is designed to simply your gardening tasks. If efficiently handles both the vacuuming of leaves and other debris, as well as the blowing of garden waste into neat piles.

It stands out for its unparalleled flexibility

The SHA 56 epitomises flexibility, offering a quick switch between a blower and vacuum shredder with no need for tools, thanks to its intuitive click-and-twist mechanism. Furthermore, it is designed with user comfort in mind, featuring a rotatable handle that ensures optimal ergonomics. This design ensures comfort during extended use, while a variable speed trigger allows for precise control over the device’s operation. Whether compiling leaves into a mound or sucking them up for disposal, the SHA 56 makes garden maintenance a breeze.

Compact and easily manageable garden waste

Central to the vacuum functionality of the SHA 56 is a durable metal shredder blade, situated within the fan wheel. This blade significantly compresses the volume of collected material, making garden waste more compact and manageable. Not only does this mean your garden waste bin won’t fill up as quickly, but it also simplifies the removal of any blockages that may occur. The vacuum features a large 40 Litre collection bag that directly connects to the vacuum tube. This setup eliminates the uncomfortable over-the-shoulder bags found on other models, enhancing user comfort and manoeuvrability and enabling more effective garden management. An optional adjustable, padded shoulder strap further aids in evenly distributing the device’s weight, reducing strain on the user.

The SHA 56 is a commitment to the environment

Choosing the SHA 56 signifies a commitment to environmental sustainability. By customising its adjustable blower tube to the user’s height, it avoids unnecessary loss of performance and reduces energy waste. This ensures that leaves and other debris are collected and shredded efficiently, promoting the recycling of organic materials through dispoal or composting, resulting in a healthier and more sustainable outdoor environment.

What’s included in the SHA 56 price

The promotional kit contains the SHA 56 shell, 2 x AK 20 batteries, and a standard AL 101 battery charger. When one battery depletes, you can continue working with the second whilst the first is on charge. Each included AK 20 battery provides up to 25 minutes working time per full charge (equivalent to 75 m² in suction mode or 600 m² in blowing mode). The included battery charger will charge an AK 20 battery 0-100% in 180 minutes.

STIHL warranty

STIHL SHA 56 top tips

1) After using the SHA 56, remove the battery and clean the exterior with a damp cloth or gentle brush. Ensure the SHA 56 is stored in a clean and dry area, away from children’s access.

2) Removing wet leaves demands additional effort and power compared to dry leaves, resulting in more time spent cleaning a smaller space. For better efficiency and to prolong the life of your battery, it’s recommended to choose a dry day for your garden maintenance tasks.

3) Instead of dispersing leaves throughout the garden using the SHA 56 in blower mode, aim them towards a corner to keep them grouped together. This approach makes it easier to vacuum them when you switch the SHA 56 to suction mode.
