About this product

The STIHL SH 56 C-E is a gas-powered handheld tool built to do double duty: use it as a leaf blower for everyday cleanup, or attach the vacuum and shredder components to suck up and mulch leaves down to a fraction of their original volume.

One tool, two jobs

Switching between blower and vacuum/shredder modes means one machine can clear a driveway one afternoon and shred a season's worth of leaves into a collection bag the next, cutting down on the number of separate tools an owner needs to store.

Easier starting, lower emissions

The STIHL 2-MIX engine and ErgoStart system work together to reduce the effort needed to start the engine while cutting fuel consumption and exhaust emissions compared to older 2-stroke designs.

Convenient debris collection

In vacuum mode, shredded material collects in an easy-open zippered bag, so emptying the bag between passes is quick and doesn't require detaching it from the machine each time.

Key features

  • 27.2 cc STIHL 2-MIX engine with reduced emissions and fuel use
  • ErgoStart system for easier pull-starting
  • Converts between handheld blower and vacuum/shredder modes
  • Zippered collection bag for quick, easy-open emptying
  • Manual fuel priming pump reduces starting effort

Frequently asked questions

Can the SH 56 C-E mulch the leaves it vacuums up?

Yes, its built-in shredder blade reduces vacuumed leaves and light debris down to roughly one-tenth of their original volume as they pass into the collection bag.

Do I need extra parts to switch between blowing and vacuuming?

The unit is designed to convert between the two modes using its included attachments, so no separate purchase is needed to use either function.

Is the collection bag easy to empty?

Yes, the bag uses an easy-open zipper so shredded debris can be emptied quickly without removing the bag from its mounting.

How much fuel does it use per fill-up?

The fuel tank holds 540 mL, enough for extended cleanup sessions thanks to the 2-MIX engine's efficient fuel consumption.
