The BGA 160 provides constant blowing force with no drop-off in power as the battery approaches depletion, along with innovative ergonomics for optimal user comfort.

The BGA 160 battery-powered handheld blower features a constant running power capable of 21 N of force and a max air velocity of 14 MPH with no drop-off in power as the battery charge reaches depletion. The innovative, ergonomic shape of the angled blower tube provides a natural working position, and the easy-to-use cruise control allows users to set the speed and remove their finger from the trigger so they can focus on the job at hand. With a virtually maintenance-free brushless motor and weather-resistant design, the BGA 160 is not only powerful, but also built to stand the test of time.

BGA 160 (Unit Only) Features & Benefits

  • Constant Power - Internal technology maintains constant power output during standard operation (non-boost) until at 10% a power reduction indicates the need for battery recharge.
  • Variable-Speed Trigger - The variable-speed trigger allows precise control for each task.
  • Boost Mode - Using the variable-speed trigger, users can easily activate boost mode to temporarily increase to the maximum blowing force for extra power when needed for tasks like clearing wet leaves or grass.
  • Easy-to-Use Cruise Control - Features an easy-to-use cruise control function for more comfortable operation on longer projects
  • Reduced Noise - Users can operate in noise-sensitive areas or areas with noise ordinances thanks to the reduced noise of the BGA 160 compared to its gas counterparts.
  • High Power-to-Weight Ratio - This feature allows users to get more done by minimizing fatigue.
  • Ergonomically Designed - Featuring an ergonomically shaped blow tube pitched at an angle, the BGA 250 is designed with user comfort in mind.
  • Lightweight Design - At only 9.7 lbs. with AP 300 S battery, the lightweight design helps reduce operator fatigue.
  • Quiet Operation - BGA 160 - At 83 decibels, a noise level equivalent to a crowded restaurant, this tool’s quiet operation is ideal for noise-sensitive areas
  • Instant-On Performance - 100% torque instantly with the squeeze of a trigger
  • Rubberized Soft-Touch Handle - Soft rubber texture is both easy to grip and makes the product comfortable to hold for extended periods.
  • Hanging Loop - The built-in hanging loop allows for easy wall-mount storage.
  • IPX4 Rating - This tool is IPX4-rated for weather-resistant construction and has been designed and tested for splash-water protection.
  • Brushless Motor - The advanced brushless motor virtually eliminates maintenance while supplying the power and performance you expect from STIHL.
