Stihl SH 86 C Professional Gas Leaf Blower / Vacuum Combo

Stihl SH 86 C-E Gasoline Vacuum Shredder

The Stihl SH 86 C-E is a professional gas shredder vac for clearing large accumulations of leaves and yard waste across extensive areas. In vacuum mode it draws in debris, shreds it with a durable steel shredder at a 14:1 ratio, and collects it in a 45-liter bag with an easy-open zipper for quick emptying. It also converts to a handheld blower when you need to move leaves rather than collect them. The Stihl 2-MIX engine balances power and fuel economy, Stihl Easy2Start makes starting easier, and variable speed control lets you match power to the task. Anti-vibration technology, a soft-grip handle, and a shoulder strap help reduce fatigue during extended use. Note: not available for purchase or delivery in California.
