The BRA 500 and BRA 600 are engineered with advanced features, including an anti-vibration system, adjustable length tubes, and cruise control to maintain a steady power output while the operator continues working. The blowers come with interchangeable nozzles for different debris types: A volume nozzle for large quantities of dry debris and an air speed nozzle for wet debris. Built with IPX4-rated weather resistance, these blowers are protected against water splashes, ensuring durability in various conditions.

Equipped with a 72 V brushless motor, the BRA 500 and BRA 600 offer four speed settings. In boost mode, the BRA 500.0 delivers a powerful 32 N of blowing force, while the BRA 600 achieves an impressive 35N.
