It is an excellent choice for a wide range of users, from homeowners maintaining their gardens to professional landscapers and municipal teams requiring reliable performance for larger areas.
Efficient and Powerful STIHL 2-MIX Engine
At the heart of the BG 56 is STIHL’s highly power-efficient 2-MIX engine. This advanced 2-stroke engine technology reduces exhaust emissions and lowers fuel consumption, leading to reduced operating costs. Despite its efficiency, it delivers the high blowing power needed to tackle demanding jobs. The engine is low-maintenance and complies with the strict EU Stage V emissions directive, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.
Designed for User Convenience
STIHL has engineered the BG 56 with user comfort and convenience in mind. Weighing just 4.1 kg, it is lightweight and easy to handle, reducing operator fatigue during extended use. Starting the machine is made simpler by the manual fuel pump, which reduces the number of starting strokes required, especially after longer breaks in operation. The ergonomically shaped handle ensures a comfortable and secure grip, allowing for precise control while working.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the STIHL BG 56 blower suitable for?
The STIHL BG 56 is a versatile handheld blower designed for a broad range of users. It’s powerful enough for professional landscapers and municipal maintenance teams, yet its lightweight design and ease of use make it an excellent choice for homeowners looking to keep their gardens, patios, and driveways clear of leaves and debris.
What fuel should I use for the STIHL BG 56?
The BG 56 uses a STIHL 2-MIX engine, which requires a fuel mixture of petrol and high-quality 2-stroke engine oil at a ratio of 50:1. For optimal performance, reduced emissions, and convenience, STIHL recommends using their pre-mixed MotoMix® fuel, which is perfectly blended and has a long shelf life.
How does the 2-MIX engine benefit the user?
The STIHL 2-MIX engine provides several key benefits. It offers high power output for effective blowing performance while being more fuel-efficient than conventional 2-stroke engines. This means you spend less on fuel and reduce operating costs. It also produces fewer harmful exhaust emissions, making it better for the environment and the operator.
Does the BG 56 come ready to use?
Yes, when you purchase a STIHL BG 56 from Sims Garden Machinery, it comes fully assembled and inspected by our trained mechanics as part of our Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). For local customers, we also offer a personal handover to demonstrate how to start and operate it safely. All you need to do is add the correct fuel mix.
