Why Choose the BRA 500?
The STIHL BRA 500 is the ultimate tool for professionals who demand the power of a petrol blower with the comfort, low noise and zero emissions of a cordless machine. Its dual-battery 72V motor delivers performance genuinely comparable to the petrol BR 600, while STIHL's Constant Power electronics mean output stays consistent right up until the batteries are depleted, rather than tapering off gradually.
