Constant Power Regardless Of Battery Status

Constant Power Regardless Of Battery Status

With some brands of battery tools, the performance usually decreases during work as the battery discharges. This is not the case with STIHL cordless power tools with CONSTANT POWER. Thanks to the intelligent electronics, your STIHL power tool works with consistently high power.

Variable Blowing Force

The blowing force can be flexibly adjusted to be as effective and energy-saving as possible when cleaning different surfaces. This means that you can adapt to different working conditions at any time and carry out cleaning work in a controlled manner.

Cruise Control

Cruise Control

You can lock the throttle at any preferred position, even between levels. This relieves the strain on your index finger during longer periods of continual use.

Compact Design

The short and compact design and the central positioning of the engine, blower and battery result in a very low moment of inertia; that means it is very easy to swivel and move the tool, and so you can work more effectively and for longer.

Angled Blower Tube

Angled Blower Tube

The angled design of the tool means that there is no rotational impact on the wrist. The blower tube and the handle are in line so that no torque is transferred to the handle. This means that, even when switching on, there is no pulse generated which must be corrected manually. So you benefit by being able to do your work with less effort and fatigue.

Power Boost Trigger

Power Boost Trigger

Extra pressure on the trigger switch of your STIHL blower immediately activates maximum blowing force. This happens regardless of the pre-selected power level and without having to change your grip position.

Hanging Eyelet For Safe Storage

The power tool has an integrated carrying ring. This allows you to store your power tool safely and compactly.

Low Maintenance Efficient EC Motor

Low Maintenance Efficient EC Motor

Thanks to its compact design, low weight and high efficiency, the EC engine enables you to work in an energy efficient manner. This engine also has a long service life.

Splashwater Protection IPX4 Certified

Splashwater Protection IPX4 Certified

The IPX protection classes define the moisture protection of electrical or electronic devices. The moisture protection test is defined in different stages. IPX4 certifies protection against splashwater from all sides. Battery-powered tools with this certification are therefore designed for daily use, even in rainy conditions.

Fleet Management With The Smart Connector

Fleet Management With The Smart Connector

With STIHL connected, you always have an overview of your power tool fleet and can automatically receive power tool data such as age, operating hours, and maintenance status. This allows you to determine the ideal fleet size and composition based on concrete information, as it makes clear how the power tool fleet is being used. Following initial commissioning, the Smart Connector collects the required data and transfers it to a mobile power tool or STIHL connected Box. All recorded power tool data is available for viewing and evaluation in the STIHL connected App and the STIHL connected Portal.

Recommended battery AP 300 S

The BGA 160 is a battery-powered blower in STIHL’s AP System, designed for professional landscapers and features excellent manoeuvrability combined with plenty of blowing performance. With a maximum blowing force of 21 Newtons, the power of the BGA 160 sits above the BGA 86 and below the BGA 250 handheld leaf blowers and outperforms both the BG 56 and BG 86 petrol handheld leaf blowers.

The BGA 160 has a compact size, is lightweight and has impressive power, making it ideal for working quickly and around tight obstacles when clearing small areas of leaves and hedge clippings – making it an ideal tool for every landscaper’s fleet. The BGA 160 can be used by both left and right-handed users, and thanks to the angle of the handle, it means you won’t experience strain on your wrist and arm. It also keeps the tool steady when used on maximum power, meaning you can control the blower with ease. The battery’s location underneath the impeller and handle means the BGA 160 is perfectly balanced, with no tipping required to get the right angle.

The BGA 160 has a variable speed trigger with a built-in boost mode, for temporarily increasing to maximum power when clearing stubborn patches of wet leaves. Selecting one of the three power settings helps to match the blowing power to the job at hand, which lets you get the best from the battery. Cruise control can be used when working on longer jobs and a shoulder harness can be attached to the leaf blower which takes the weight from your hand. As it is battery-powered, you don’t need to wear ear defenders when using the BGA 160.

The working time with the recommended AP 300 S battery ranges from 15-110 minutes, depending on the power level used.
