The STIHL BG 50 is a gas-powered handheld blower for clearing yard waste and leaf piles. It has the highest power-to-weight ratio in the STIHL gas-powered line. The design is lightweight and compact, which reduces operator fatigue.
The housings are made of high-tech polymer. The engine is fuel-efficient, and the upright translucent fuel tank makes filling easier and shows the fuel level. The air filter can be reached without tools.
A purge pump primer fills the carburetor with fuel to make starting easier, without the risk of flooding the engine. The blower is designed for occasional use.
