STIHL KB-KM Bristle Brush KombiTool

Description

The STIHL KB-KM bristle brush KombiTool is a powered sweeping attachment for compatible loop-handle STIHL KombiEngines and KombiMotors. Its firm, backward-rotating bristles lift dirt and loose debris from grooves, joints and uneven hard surfaces, making it ideal for cleaning paths, patios, driveways, block paving and natural stone.

A protective guard is included with the attachment. The KombiEngine or cordless KombiMotor is sold separately.

Important compatibility information: The STIHL KB-KM is only suitable for loop-handle KombiEngines and KombiMotors. It is not approved for every STIHL KombiSystem power unit. Check your exact model before ordering or read our STIHL KombiSystem buying guide.

Why choose the STIHL KB-KM bristle brush?

• Powered hard-surface cleaning: Converts a compatible STIHL KombiEngine into an efficient rotating bristle sweeper.
• Cleans grooves and joints: Firm bristles help lift dirt from block paving, jointed paths and uneven stone surfaces.
• Backward-rotating brush action: The brush rotates towards the operator to help move dirt and debris in a controlled direction.
• Suitable for uneven paving: A practical option for textured paving, natural stone and surfaces that are difficult to clean with a conventional hand brush.
• Protective guard included: The attachment is supplied with the appropriate guard.
• Quick attachment changes: The STIHL KombiSystem coupling allows the tool to be fitted and removed without changing the complete power unit.

Suitable surfaces and cleaning jobs

The KB-KM is designed for sweeping hard outdoor surfaces, including:

• Paved paths and walkways
• Patios and seating areas
• Block-paved driveways
• Jointed and textured paving
• Uneven natural stone
• Yards, hardstanding and paved work areas
• Edges, grooves and joints where dirt collects

The powered bristles are particularly useful where dirt, sand and loose debris have settled into joints or uneven sections of paving. The attachment is designed for hard surfaces rather than lawns or soft ground.

KB-KM bristle brush or BG-KM blower?

Choose the KB-KM bristle brush when dirt and debris need to be physically swept from grooves, paving joints or uneven surfaces. Its rotating bristles make direct contact with the surface and are better suited to material that cannot simply be blown away.

For dry leaves, grass cuttings and other lightweight loose debris, the STIHL BG-KM blower attachment may be the more appropriate choice.

The KB-KM must be used with a suitable loop-handle STIHL KombiEngine or KombiMotor. Loop-handle power units available from Masseys include:

Frequently asked questions

Is the STIHL KB-KM compatible with every KombiEngine?

No. STIHL specifies that the KB-KM bristle brush is only suitable for loop-handle KombiEngines and KombiMotors. Check your exact model before purchase.

Is a KombiEngine included with the KB-KM?

No. The KB-KM is the bristle-brush attachment only. A compatible loop-handle petrol KombiEngine or cordless KombiMotor is required separately.

Which surfaces can the KB-KM clean?

It is designed for paved paths, patios, driveways, block paving, uneven natural stone and other hard outdoor surfaces. Its firm bristles are particularly useful for cleaning dirt and debris from joints and grooves.

Is the KB-KM better than a blower?

The two attachments perform different jobs. The KB-KM physically sweeps dirt and debris from the surface, making it useful for paving joints and uneven stone. A blower is generally more suitable for moving dry leaves, grass cuttings and lightweight loose debris.

Does the STIHL KB-KM include a guard?

Yes. The appropriate protective guard is included with the KB-KM attachment.
