Stihl SH C-E 86 Blower/Vac

STIHL SH 86 C-E: The Ultimate 2-in-1 Professional Shredder Vac & Blower

The STIHL SH 86 C-E is the premier choice for landscapers and homeowners tackling large volumes of damp autumn leaves, hedge clippings, and lawn debris across Kildare and Dublin. Powered by a fuel-efficient, low-emission STIHL 2-MIX engine, this dual-purpose machine effortlessly switches from a high-velocity hand-held blower to a high-capacity vacuum shredder. Its integrated specially shaped shredding blade on the fan wheel reduces organic leaf waste at an impressive 14:1 ratio, dramatically compacting garden waste directly into the durable 45-litre catch bag. Equipped with STIHL’s ErgoStart (E) system for effortless cord pulling and an advanced 4-point anti-vibration system, the SH 86 C-E allows you to work comfortably for hours without arm fatigue. When you buy from Leixlip Tool Hire, you get more than just a box—you get fully assembled, bench-tested machinery backed by our dedicated local workshop, full spare parts stock, and expert servicing.

• 14:1 Waste Reduction Ratio: The high-strength steel shredding star actively chops leaves, twigs, and green waste down to one-fourteenth of their original volume, maximizing bag capacity and creating ideal mulch material for garden beds.

• STIHL ErgoStart (E) System: Eliminates hard jerk pulling. A spring assistance mechanism between the crankshaft and starter rope reduces the effort required by half, delivering smooth, reliable starting every time.

• 4-Point Mechanical Anti-Vibration System: Precision engine dampening dampens severe handle oscillations, drastically lowering Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV) levels for comfortable all-day commercial use.

• HD2 Washable Polyethylene Air Filter: Built to handle extremely dry, dusty, or wet conditions. The fine-pore HD2 filter element repels oil and water, is easily cleanable, and significantly extends engine service life compared to standard paper filters.

• Infinitely Variable Speed Control with Stop Button: Lock in your preferred blowing or vacuuming throttle lever position for continuous operation, with a single-touch stop switch that automatically resets the ignition for immediate restarting.

• Complete Convertible Kit Included: Supplied with both round and flat nozzles, standard blower tubes, heavy-duty suction tubes, and a comfortable shoulder-strapped 45L collection bag for instant 2-in-1 functionality right out of the box.
