Why Choose the STIHL BGA 86?
The BGA 86 delivers 50% more blowing power than its predecessor, the BGA 85, at a lower weight — a genuine step up if you're moving from a domestic AK System blower to something with more consistent power. Unlike some rival cordless blowers, STIHL's Constant Power electronics mean it runs at full speed throughout the charge rather than gradually losing power as the battery depletes.
