Dominate your landscape cleanup with the STIHL SH 86 C-E, a top-tier professional shredder vac designed for maximum power and operator comfort. This versatile tool comes standard with everything you need to easily convert it from a high-capacity vacuum shredder into a professional-grade handheld blower. Whether you are managing large residential estates or commercial properties, the SH 86 C-E provides the relentless performance needed to move—and shred—heavy, stubborn yard waste.
Building on the ease of the SH 56 C-E, this professional model features the STIHL Easy2Start™ system for near-effortless cranking. To ensure comfort during long shifts, it is equipped with four-spring anti-vibration technology and soft-grip handles, significantly reducing fatigue. As the unit vacuums, its high-strength shredding blade reduces clippings into a secure, easy-open zippered bag, turning mountains of leaves into manageable mulch in seconds.
