Thanks to the STIHL SHA 56 Cordless Vacuum Shredder and Blower, now you can easily blow your garden debris into manageable piles, shred it up, and transfer the waste from collection bag to composter, without an electrical lead in sight!

Intelligently designed, expertly built, and with a range of smart user-friendly features, the STIHL SHA 56 is a must-have garden tool if you want to tidy up your garden with ease.

(Please be advised that this particular product is classified as the ‘Kit’, so the most suitable battery and charger are both included in the price.)

The STIHL SHA 56 Cordless Vacuum Shredder & Blower

Weighing just 3.2kg (without the battery) and supplied with a generously sized 40-litre collection bag, the STIHL SHA56 is expertly designed for domestic use. It features a blowing force of 8 N, maximum air speed of 56 m/s, and sound power level of 94 dB(A), making it light to handle and pleasingly powerful.

The SHA56 also includes variable speed control, which allows you to adjust the blowing and suction power to match whatever work you have planned.

Converting from Blower to Vacuum Shredder

Thanks to a user-friendly ‘click and twist’ design, you can change the STIHL SHA 56 from blower to shredder in no time at all, without the need for tools. Simply click the appropriate tube into place, turn the rotatable handle, and you’re good to go.

The SHA56’s Adjustable Blower Tube

The SHA56’s adjustable blower tube offers two clear benefits. Firstly, it keeps you working comfortably, regardless of your height. Secondly, because you are then using the correct posture to operate the tool, you’ll automatically be holding it exactly the right distance from the ground to ensure consistently optimised levels of performance.

The Metal Shredder Blade

Exceptionally sharp and robust, the STIHL SHA 56’s metal blade will make absolute mincemeat of shredding your leaves and hedge clippings. And when you need to give it a clean, you’ll find this blade extremely easy to access.

An Ergonomically Designed Tool

The SHA56 comes with an ergonomically designed handle and adjustable padded shoulder strap, so you’ll always remain comfortable, even when you’re hard at work.

The 40-litre collection bag is designed to make your life as easy as possible too. Fitted with a long zip cord, it is really simple to open, empty and close.

The STIHL Warranty

One of the world’s most established and highly regarded manufacturers of handheld power tools, STIHL is a name to trust if you’re shopping for leaf blowers and vacuum shredders. For your added peace of mind, this SHA 56 STIHL model comes with a 2-year domestic warranty as standard.

Battery and Charger Included in the Kit

As this STIHL SHA 56 Cordless Vacuum Shredder & Blower is a ‘Kit’, it comes with an AK 20 battery and AL 101 charger included in the price.

The battery has a working time of up to 25 minutes, on a full charge, which is enough for you to clear 75 m² of ground in suction mode or 600 m² in blowing mode.

The AL 101 can fully charge this battery in 180 minutes and achieve an 80% charge in only 135 minutes.

As an added bonus, each of these products is compatible with other STIHL AK System tools.
