The SH 56 C-E shredder vac turns yard work into less work. Not only does the STIHL Easy2Start™ system make starting almost effortless, but the fuel-efficient STIHL gas-powered engine also delivers power to the fan wheel's specially designed blade—cutting yard waste down to size. As it shreds, the clippings accumulate in a secure, easy-open zippered bag for convenient emptying. Better yet, this versatile STIHL tool offers one power tool that does the work of two. It comes standard with the necessary parts to easily convert the shredder van into a handheld blower.
