Let's dive into the standout features of the STIHL SHA 56 with Nikki, our Ecommerce Manager with a green thumb, who recently had the chance to try out the STIHL SHA 56. Nikki eagerly put it to the test and shares her firsthand experience.

DUAL - PURPOSE POWER TOOL

Nikki: I'm really impressed with the SHA 56. Switching between the two modes was a breeze, and I was amazed at how effectively both modes operated. I effortlessly cleared leaves from my driveway and vaccumed up debris around the garden. It's a very easy tool to use and you get twice as much done!

Switching between blower and vacuum mode is seamless and effortless - just swap out the nozzles, rotate the handle, and you're ready to tackle your tasks with ease.

The STIHL SHA 56 incorporates a metal shredding star, strategically placed within the chute, to ensure efficient shredding to a ratio of 10:1. As you work, the debris is collected in the 40-litre collection bag. The bag conveniently hangs on the tool itself, you don't need to to carry it over your shoulder and its asymmetrical shape provides ample legroom during operation. The bag also features a long zipper that makes emptying effortless. 

ERGONOMIC 180° ROTATABLE HANDLE

Nikki: The rotatable handle is really unique with just a click and twist, I was able to switch the way the handle operated. It really is an amaizng mechanism.

The STIHL SHA 56 is designed with user comfort in mind. It features a smooth 180° rotation mechanism in its handle, providing excellent ergonomics for both operating modes. With just a simple twist of the handle, you can easily switch functions and continue with your tasks smoothly. Additionally, the variable speed control allows you to continuously regulate the suction and blowing power to meet your specific requirements.

EASY EMPTYING

Nikki: Filling the bag proved to be a bit of a task, the shredder did such an excellent job at breaking down debris that I didnt have enough to vacuum up to fill the bag! When emptying, I could easily flip the bag inside out to tap out any excess debris.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Nikki: I really enjoyed using the SHA 56, it saved me a lot of time and I did twice as much with just one tool!
