Stihl SHA56 Lithium Ion Blower/Vacuum Shredder

Streamline your seasonal yard maintenance with the STIHL SHA 56 AK System Battery Shredder Vac & Blower, the first 2-in-1 cordless shredder vacuum and leaf blower in the STIHL lineup. Engineered for residential homeowners, property managers, and noise-sensitive residential zones, the SHA 56 delivers whisper-quiet operation that eliminates the need for ear protection while providing year-round cleaning versatility. From clearing autumn leaves off lawns and driveways to vacuuming up flowerbed debris, this multi-function tool makes property cleanup quick, comfortable, and efficient.

Designed with maximum productivity in mind, the SHA 56 includes two dedicated, application-specific tubes—one optimized for high-volume blowing and one specialized for vacuum shredding. A completely tool-less conversion system allows operators to rapidly switch between blower and vacuum modes in seconds. When operated as a shredder vac, the integrated metal shredding blade reduces leaf volume by an impressive 10:1 ratio, dramatically maximizing catcher bag capacity and creating nutrient-rich garden mulch. Comfort features include a rotatable handle for ergonomic wrist positioning in either operating mode, a lightweight padded shoulder strap, an asymmetrical 40-liter catcher bag that stays out of your walking path as it fills, and a full-length heavy-duty zipper for quick, complete emptying.

Note: As part of the STIHL AK System, the SHA 56 is powered by 36V AK Series lithium-ion batteries, offering reliable, zero-exhaust-emission performance across your entire STIHL AK tool collection.
