Product information & specifications
Please note that this model is available as a set with a battery and charger, or as a tool only without battery and charger. Please make sure that you choose the correct option when you add to basket.
The SHA 56 is the first cordless vacuum shredder / leaf blower from STIHL. Part of the AK System, this practical 2-in-1 machine is designed for vacuuming leaves and hedge cuttings as well as gathering leaves and debris into piles.
Whether you use the SHA 56 as a vacuum shredder or a blower, the rotatable handle has outstanding ergonomics and gives you greater comfort when you are working. You can convert the vacuum shredder to a blower (and vice versa) without the need for tools. Simply click the tubes into place, twist the handle 180 degrees and the SHA 56 will fit comfortably in your hand, ready to go. The variable speed trigger can be used to control the suction and blowing force of the SHA 56, while its specially angled handle makes it even more comfortable to handle when it is in vacuum shredder mode.
When in vacuum mode the catcher bag connects to the vacuum tube, rather than over the users shoulder, which makes operation more comfortable. The SHA 56 is also equipped with a padded adjustable shoulder strap to support the machine during use. A metal shredder blade on the fan wheel reduces the material volume when in vacuum mode. The shredder blade opening is easy to access, meaning blockages can be cleared quickly should they arise.
Working time with recommended AK 20 battery is up to 25 minutes.

Product Info
Product Info
With other brands of battery tools, the performance usually decreases during work as the battery discharges. This is not the case with STIHL cordless power tools with CONSTANT POWER. Thanks to the intelligent electronics, your STIHL power tool works with consistently high power.
To use the suction and blowing power of your power tool optimally on all surfaces, you can adjust it precisely and on an infinitely variable basis using the speed control.
You can adapt the blower tube to the user’s height. This means that you avoid unnecessary performance loss due to working too far from the ground, and also enjoy very comfortable work.
The recesses on the side of the suction pipe opening minimise the risk of sticking to the floor or to the vacuumed material.
