Stihl SHA 56 Cordless Vacuum Shredder with AK 20 battery and AL 101 charger

SHA 56 Cordless Vacuum Shredder with AK 20 battery and AL 101 charger: the quiet all-rounder for vacuum shredding and blowing work

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.

Features

The pictures shown are sample photos. The actual appearance of the equipment features and their specific attachment to the product may differ from the pictorial representations, but will have the same functionality.

LENGTH-ADJUSTABLE BLOWER TUBE

REDUCES LOSS OF PERFORMANCE. 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.

SPEED CONTROL

FOR OPTIMAL SUCTION AND BLOWING POWER. To use the suction and blowing power of your tool optimally on all surfaces, you can adjust it precisely and on an infinitely variable basis using the speed control.

SUCTION TUBE OPENING WITH RECESSES

SIMPLE CLEANING. The recesses on the side of the suction pipe opening minimise the risk of sticking to the floor or to the vacuumed material

CONSTANT POWER

When using other brands of battery tools, the performance can sometimes decrease during work as the battery discharges. This isn't the case with STIHL battery-powered tools. Thanks to the intelligent electronics, your tool will work with consistently high power across the entire battery charge, until there is no energy left in the battery.
