STIHL BGA 160 Cordless Blower

The BGA 160 is perfectly balanced, with the battery positioned directly under the handle to prevent tipping and reduce wrist strain. Its ergonomic design suits both left- and right-handed users and keeps the tool stable, even at full power. A variable speed trigger with built-in boost mode provides extra force when needed, while cruise control helps reduce fatigue during extended use.

For added comfort, a shoulder harness can be attached to redistribute the weight. With low operating noise, there’s no need for ear protection, and working time with the recommended AP 300 S battery ranges from 15 to 110 minutes, depending on power level.

Features:

• Consistent Power, From Start to Finish: Unlike some battery tools that lose performance as the charge drops, STIHL battery-powered tools deliver constant power throughout the entire battery cycle, right up until it’s empty. Intelligent electronics ensure maximum efficiency at every stage.
• Maximum Control with Variable Power: The variable-speed trigger gives you full control of the blowing force, allowing you to adapt to different tasks and conserve energy when needed.
• Cruise Control for Comfort: Lock the throttle at any speed, even between levels, to reduce finger strain during extended use. Ideal for longer clearing jobs.
• Compact and Balanced: A short, lightweight design with a centrally positioned motor and battery ensures excellent balance and easy manoeuvrability, reducing fatigue and increasing productivity.
• Ergonomic Tube Alignment: The angled blower tube design prevents rotational wrist force, meaning less effort is needed to control the blower, making your work smoother and less tiring.
• Boost Function: Need extra power? A simple increase in trigger pressure activates the blower's full force instantly.
• Efficient, Low-Maintenance EC Motor: Compact, durable and efficient, the EC motor delivers long service life with minimal upkeep.
• Smart Storage: An integrated hanging eyelet makes it easy to store the tool neatly and securely.
• STIHL Connected Ready: Compatible with the Smart Connector, the tool can sync with the STIHL connected system to track usage and maintenance via Bluetooth, keeping your equipment in peak condition.
• Rain-Resistant Battery: The AP 200 S battery is IPX4 certified, meaning it’s protected against splash water from all directions—perfect for use in wet conditions.
