Stihl BG 86 Blower

STIHL BG 86 Petrol Blower: High-Air-Volume Site Clearance

The STIHL BG 86 is the professional standard for handheld petrol leaf blowers, purpose-built to move heavy, wet Irish leaves, dense lawn clippings, and construction dust with absolute ease. Driven by STIHL’s high-torque 27.2 cc 2-MIX engine, it outputs a massive 15 Newtons of blowing force while remaining remarkably fuel-efficient and fully compliant with strict low-emission standards. Engineered for multi-hour commercial shifts, the BG 86 features an advanced 4-point anti-vibration system and a rubberized soft-grip handle that absorbs engine oscillations before they reach your hands. Equipped with a heavy-duty HD2 polyethylene air filter that traps even the finest dry grit, this blower delivers reliable, non-stop performance for landscapers, local councils, and demanding property owners. When bought through Leixlip Tool Hire, you get more than a boxed unit—you get full pre-delivery inspection, local operational advice, and immediate access to our specialized parts backup and repair workshop.

• 27.2 cc Low-Emission 2-MIX Powerhead: Combines high air velocity with low fuel consumption, generating 0.8 kW (1.1 hp) of reliable power designed to handle wet, packed garden waste.

• Commercial HD2 Polyethylene Filter: Unlike standard foam air filters, the washable HD2 filter features ultra-fine pores that keep abrasive sawdust and fine soil out of the engine, dramatically extending motor lifespan in harsh work environments.

• 4-Point Anti-Vibration Architecture: Precision-tuned dampening zones drastically lower the vibration level to just 2.5 m/s², allowing operators to work full days without severe arm fatigue.

• Integrated STIHL ElastoStart System: A specialized shock-absorber built into the starter handle dampens the compression peaks during pulling, ensuring smooth, strain-free engine starts.

• Dual-Nozzle Air Vector Suite: Ships standard with both a Round Nozzle (for high-volume leaf movement) and a Flat Curved Nozzle (for scraping damp, stuck-on debris off tarmac and driveways).

• One-Touch Throttle Lock & Stop Switch: Features an intuitive cruise-control lever that lets you lock the throttle at desired RPMs, paired with a auto-reset stop button that leaves the unit instantly ready to restart.

• Manual Fuel Purge Primer: Prevents engine flooding by allowing you to manually deliver fuel straight to the carburetor with a few thumb presses before cold starts.
