The BGA 250 leaf blower is the most powerful handheld leaf blower throughout the entire battery working time in the world. It is designed for professionals tackling the toughest cleaning jobs in horticulture and landscaping. It has a maximum blowing force of 26 Newtons, making it the most powerful handheld leaf blower from STIHL to date too. The blowing performance remains constant throughout the entire battery charge and does not decrease during use – so whether you are at 100% charge or 20%, you’ll get full power until the battery has completely run out of energy. The blower has excellent manoeuvrability meaning it is easy to use, and it’s quiet too – you can use the BGA 250 without the need for ear defenders, meaning you can work freely in noise-sensitive environments without disturbing customers. The compact and lightweight design of the BGA 250 lets you use it with either your left or right hand, without straining your wrist and arm. The angle of the handle compared to the blower tube keeps the tool steady, even when on maximum power, for effortless control. The battery is located underneath the impeller and handle, which makes the blower perfectly balance – no tipping of the BGA 250 is required to get the right blowing angle. The BGA 250 has a variable speed trigger with a boost mode for jobs which require an increase in power, such as clearing piles of wet leaves. The power settings on the leaf blower means you can match the blowing power to the work, which will get you the longest working times out of the battery. A cruise control option can also be used for longer jobs. A shoulder harness can also be attached to the BGA 250 to take the weight from your hand. Working time with the recommended AP 300 S battery ranges from 12-40 minutes, depending on the power level used.
