Like a strong wind with an off switch, the STIHL SH 86 C-E professional shredder vac is a powerful landscaping tool, and it comes standard with the necessary parts to easily convert this shredder vac into a handheld blower. It features the same STIHL Easy2Start™ system as the SH 56 C-E but delivers higher air volume and velocity for tackling difficult yard waste. The shredder vac/blower also features soft-grip handles and four-spring anti-vibration technology for greater comfort on the job. As it shreds, the clippings accumulate in a secure, easy-open zippered bag for convenient emptying.

SH 86 C-E Features & Benefits

  • STIHL Easy2Start™ - The STIHL Easy2Start™ system makes starting STIHL outdoor power tools almost effortless, eliminating the need for a strong pull of the starting cord. This advanced starting system is designed to make starting STIHL products fast and easy. The specific system may vary by model, but in each case, a quick pull overcomes the engine’s compression to minimize the strength and effort required to start. Available on selected products.
  • Simplified Starting Procedure - To get started, users simply pump the fuel primer, set the choke, and pull the starter cord. The built-in stop switch allows the user to turn off the engine with a simple press of the button. When the engine is off, the throttle lock automatically returns to the "start" setting. The tool will be ready to start again when the user is ready to get back to work.
  • Compact, Ergonomic Design - The compact, ergonomic design provides more comfortable use.
  • Shoulder Strap - The STIHL shoulder strap allows for greater maneuverability and helps reduce operator fatigue, allowing the user to work comfortably.
  • Soft-Grip Handle - This handle design provides a secure and comfortable grip.
  • Multi-Function Control Handle - Having easy access to all of the controls on one comfortable handle helps makes it easier to complete tasks so the operator’s hand never has to leave the handle.
