Why choose the Stihl BGA86 cordless blower?
The BGA86 (sometimes written as BGA 86 or bga86) is around 50% more powerful than the older BGA85 model, yet it weighs just 2.8 kg without the battery. This means you can work longer without fatigue. The tool is IPX4-rated for weather resistance, so sudden showers won’t stop you working.
Supplied as a bare unit, you can pair it with any STIHL AP battery — for example, the AP 300 S provides up to 26 minutes of continuous runtime, or you can extend it up to 140 minutes using an AR 3000 L backpack battery.
Comfort-focused design
The bga86 blower features a soft-grip, single-handed multi-function handle, making it easy to control for both left- and right-handed users. The length-adjustable blower tube allows you to match the tube to your height, so you can work closer to the ground without losing blowing power or straining your back.
Variable speed control
The variable trigger lets you fine-tune airflow depending on the type of debris and surface, helping you avoid moving gravel or damaging delicate areas.
Accessories and add-ons
The standard round nozzle is ideal for most tasks, but you can also fit an optional flat nozzle for even higher air speeds (up to 76 m/s) when needed.
