Our take on the Stihl BGA 57 Cordless Handheld Blower

The Stihl BGA 57 is a battery-powered handheld leaf blower in Stihl's AK System, sold as a bare tool or in a kit with an AK 20 battery and AL 101 charger. It is built for light yard cleanup: blowing leaves and grass clippings off driveways, patios and decks, and clearing gutters and garage floors. Its 57 dB rating is quiet for a blower, which matters in close-in neighborhoods. Shoppers should compare the bare-tool and kit prices, since the kit includes the battery and charger the bare tool needs.

Pros
  • Quiet at 57 dB, well below gas blowers
  • Light handheld body that is easy to carry one-handed
  • Runs on Stihl's shared AK batteries, so packs work across other AK tools
  • No gas, no pull cord, no exhaust fumes
  • Simple trigger control with a lock for continuous blowing
Cons
  • Bare tool needs an AK battery and charger, which add cost
  • Low power for wet leaves, heavy debris or large properties
  • Run time depends on battery size; the small AK packs drain quickly at full speed
  • Not a substitute for a backpack blower on big fall cleanups

Questions and answers

Is the BGA 57 worth it for a small yard?
Yes, if your cleanup is light: leaves, grass clippings and dust on hard surfaces. It is quiet and easy to carry. For wet leaves or a large lot, a more powerful blower is a better fit.
Does it come with a battery and charger?
It is sold both ways. The bare tool has no battery or charger, so you need an AK System pack and charger or an existing Stihl AK battery. The kit bundles an AK 20 battery and AL 101 charger.
How long does the battery last?
Run time depends on the AK pack and the speed you use. A small AK 20 pack gives short bursts at full power; larger AK packs run longer. Expect minutes, not hours, at full speed.
How does it compare to a gas blower?
It is far quieter and lighter, with no fuel or pull starting. It has less blowing force than a gas handheld or backpack blower, so it suits light debris rather than heavy, wet leaf piles.
Which Stihl batteries fit the BGA 57?
It uses Stihl's AK System batteries, the same packs as other AK tools like the FSA 57 trimmer and HSA 56 hedge trimmer. The AP System batteries do not fit.
When is the best time to buy it?
Watch for fall leaf-season sales and spring clearance on kits. Prices on the bare tool move less; the kit is where discounts usually show up.
