I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.
Thanks dude, I got this setup a while back but didn’t really think much about the vac function and now I see it in action I’m changing my mind. I have a couple of clients who are really going to appreciate this.
i cant tell you how happy i am for seeing this video. I was struggling for more than 30 min to figure out how to switch from blower to vacuum. thank you for posting this.
The part showing you vacuuming leaves painted a smile on my face. After raking just a third of an acre last year.....never again now thanks for showing how this works.
The plastic cover on the impeller is spring loaded so once you unlock it, make sure to hold it open otherwise it will shut close and you need to insert the screwdriver again. This a a great blower for light to medium/light work. I have an older model for several years now and it always starts on the 3rd pull from a cold engine. I've even used it to blow powder snow off the sidewalk. Just bought a new one for my son-in-law. It was the SH 56C.
After surfing the net.Yours was the only tutorial I could find on how to attach the vac kit.Thanks Heaps! ...My concern is if accidently vacuum up a piece of metal or stone etc,it would damage blades.
Really helpful video, Ryan. My new machine didn't come with an instruction page or booklet, so I wanted to confirm how to release the orange side cover without snapping something off! You demonstrated it well. We don't have so many leaves in autumn here in Australia, but enough to use a few times. Mostly it is light, yet powerful blower.
Me gustó mucho tu demostración, tengo un blower así pero no sabía que me serviría para recoger las hojas también, voy a ir a que me vendan los attachment para la vacum. Thank You so much 😊.
Just a tip; You would never spend the time to suck up an entire pile of leaves like this. You would simply rake them up. This device is for removing leaves etc. from flower beds or hard to rake places, thus saving you the trouble of crawling around on your knees or stooping over for long periods. I just ordered one of these today, $300 (includes the 9.5% tax here).
do you happen to know the part number for the blower tube for this model? I have the blower with the vacuum attachments but I need the tube to convert it back into a blower.
Just bought one today... only thing about this model is having to use a screwdriver to push down and unlock the tubing's... other than that I'm fairly satisfied for Homeowner use... blower works better than expected vac it is so so...
Something nobody mentions is that when using the vacuum in a flower bed then the fan housing can become choked with sticky damp soil. It's an easy fix: unfastening the surrounding eight screws releases the top half of the fan housing giving access to a thorough cleaning job. My concern is whether, by not keeping an eye on this potential problem and keeping the airflow at a max, the machine could overheat and so disastrously fail...
I have one of these..use it more in the blower position than the vacuum. Note: If you are vacuuming Oak leaves be very careful of acorns as they will jam the impeller blades.
Thanks for the video. I saw one today and almost bought it but was sceptical about 7how it would handle the lava rocks in the flower beds. i do not care if it chops the leaves up as long as it can
picked up a used Weedeater VS2000BV 25cc 2 stroke blower Vac , no compression , ring seized in piston ordered a Ring and going to reassemble later might look and try out a stihl blower
Do you have any issues with your blower in vacuum mode sucking up rocks? Thinking about getting one with the vacuum option to pickup leaves out of the flower beds in the fall. Don't want to suck up any rocks LOL.
+William Todd (williamtodd) I know this comment is way late but i'll still answer. These things hold a lot of power. When I held the trigger just a bit, it stuck to the street. They will suck up rocks, however you dont want to. It will damage the fins and blades inside the leaf blower and you will just be replacing them all the time.
Cody Scheuermann Better late than never LOL. Thank you for the reply, it helped a lot. I figured there would be issues with rocks being sucked up. Figured it would work great around my yard though at least.
It would be great if you could comment on the volume of leaves per full bag. In other words, you had a reasonable pile of leaves but the video switched to you emptying the bag. Were you able to vacuum/shred that entire pile that you showed? What about the ease or lack of ease in emptying the bag? Lots of dust in your eyes and upper airways or not? Lastly, what about items like acorns; plenty of them here in Oregon, and small twigs. Will this end up requiring replacement of blades? I doubt if most people have 100% leaves without some additional stuff to vacuum. Video was well done. If you make another be sure to speak a lot louder when you have the machine operating. I want to hear ALL that you have to share.
+Stephen Strum Let me try and answer some of your questions I had to empty the bag twice. The bag can hold 1.5 cu. ft. = 1.2 bushel. With anything that shreds leaves their will be dust… So if that bothers you then you should wear a mask. If you suck up a lager piece of mulch it will bog down the machine and shut off. You will have to take the vac tube off and remove the jammed piece. I’ve never had problems with the blade very durable. If the acorns are small enough in Oregon you shouldn’t have a problem sucking up a couple. Thanks for watching! if you have any more questions let me know
Found it to be a great vac but a bit gutless as a blower, my Makita 4 stroke is far better! Would still recommend it though, as I said, as a vac it's great!
how can u compare 2 vs 4 stroke? I find the blower very very decent? not sure why u didnt like it, try using the flat tip blower its stronger than the round one.
great vid! i am thinking of purchasing this unit. My main use would be to suck up left over grass blades and dirt after I have mowed my lawn. Has anyone used this unit to do so? is it effective in sucking up the dirt and grass blades? please let me know. thanks!
Simply cannot believe the face with which you clipped those tubes on!! I've got the same machine and its practically impossible (literally impossible if it's cold or wet). What makes it worse is the thing is constantly getting blocked.

Thanks mate 8 years later, this video is still the gift that keeps on giving.
Agreed. I check out this video once a year before leaf pickup time
I've had mine for four years and I love it. If you take care of it it is a great combo, it has not let me down one time.

Thanx - have had the blower for a few years. Now I'm headed out to get the vac kit.

But a rake doesnt shred the leaves. For me, the shredder saves the need for a wheelbarrow, and reduces composting time for the veggie patch!
Great video
man i need to tune my carb your blower runs perfect on idle ! mine seems to sound like cylinder misfires happen

I love my still blower vac, went cheap the first time then picked this up for $199.00 at the lawnmower shop in town. Works great.

Beautiful security shoes. 😉
do you happen to know the part number for the blower tube for this model? I have the blower with the vacuum attachments but I need the tube to convert it back into a blower.
How do you take apart the suction tube? It came in two pieces - when we put it together we could not figure out how to get it back in to two pieces??
On my Stihl sh56c I put on a flat nozzle on to give the blower more power.
how do you break apart the vac tubes - take the extension section off?
Just bought one today... only thing about this model is having to use a screwdriver to push down and unlock the tubing's... other than that I'm fairly satisfied for Homeowner use... blower works better than expected vac it is so so...

My concern is whether, by not keeping an eye on this potential problem and keeping the airflow at a max, the machine could overheat and so disastrously fail...
The problem I have is that the damned thing needs unblocking constantly. Stihl are horribly in user friendly.

Sensacional eu tenho um desse e não sabia dessa função aqui no Brasil eles vendem cada ontem separados
How would the blade deal with green grass clippings?
I love my bg86
Great video, Thanks.
Just wondering how is the straight vacuum tube dismantled/puled apart at the mid length point?
There are 2 round pushing tab to separate the tube
Has the fan blade held up OK after picking up larger pieces of stick or small stones?
Jåsøn ß Small stones will be no problem with sticks, I say it does pretty well.
Have you ever had to replace the blade?
We have lot of pine trees around house. I must tray it on "
pine needles"
will NEVER work on needles; it barely picks up leaves.

I am sure there is a way to sharpen those blades!
Thanks for the video. I saw one today and almost bought it but was sceptical about 7how it would handle the lava rocks in the flower beds. i do not care if it chops the leaves up as long as it can
suck up the leaves. Sorry about the typos
Where did you get the chopper blade that is behind the grille?
Very good vid! I am gonna buy one, do you think an electric one would work too? What if it hits a small stone while vacuuming?
i always use my lawnboy 10601 with bag to shred and collect leaves , just less equipment to store
Joni English Yes this is what the majority of people do, but the advantage of this is going around bushes and trees.
picked up a used Weedeater VS2000BV 25cc 2 stroke blower Vac , no compression , ring seized in piston

Can we use with Cashew leaf?
where did u get the attachments from
Where did you buy that blower
Can it have any gravel or small stones please ?
Can you increase diameter of suction pipe to increase flow of leaves.
Good Video....safety shoes?
How does it work for wet leaves. I live in rainy British Columbia.
Ryan Volkman stick in your ass and find out bitch
Works great! I just got the sh86 and it does fantastic at sucking them up!

@@robh.3124 what?
Is the metal blade an add on and does it come with the kit.?
no. it comes separately.
If you buy the blower and vacuum all in one kit it might be already installed.

It's metal

I don't intenually pick up acorns or small twigs at the cottage, but it can be done. Twigs and branches are used for kindling.
Very good video. I was surprised the bag held so many leaves. Did you get all those leaves in two trips?
+Saint Rude yes in two trips! thanks for watching.
