The STIHL BGA 160 is a high-performance cordless blower engineered for professional landscaping and grounds maintenance. Part of the STIHL AP System, it delivers a formidable maximum blowing force of 21 Newtons, outperforming popular petrol models like the BG 56 and BG 86. Its quiet, emission-free operation makes it the definitive choice for clearing leaves and debris in noise-sensitive areas such as hospitals, schools, and residential parks.
Designed for all-day comfort, the BGA 160 features a perfectly balanced, compact layout. The angled blower tube is meticulously aligned with the handle to eliminate rotational torque on the wrist, significantly reducing operator fatigue during extended use.
Variable Blowing Force: The stepless trigger allows you to precisely manage power, saving energy on light dust while providing maximum thrust for wet, stubborn leaves.
Power Boost: A simple extra press on the trigger activates full blowing power for immediate "oomph" when tackling heavy patches of garden waste.
Cruise Control: For long-duration tasks, the throttle can be locked at any position, relieving the strain on your index finger.
Highly Efficient EC Motor: This low-maintenance brushless motor is lightweight and optimized for energy efficiency, ensuring a long service life and maximum runtime.
Constant Power Output: Unlike many competitors, STIHL intelligent electronics ensure the blower maintains 100% performance throughout the entire battery charge.
Ambidextrous Design: The handle geometry and balanced center of gravity make it equally comfortable for both left and right-handed users.
IPX4 Weather Protection: Certified splash-proof for reliable operation in damp or rainy conditions.
Smart Connector Ready: Compatible with the STIHL Smart Connector to track operating hours and maintenance schedules via the STIHL Connected App.
