Powerful engine
The largest part of the Snapper chipper/shredder is the powerful Briggs & Stratton 1450 series engine. The engine has a long lifespan and puts out a lot of power along the way. It implements overhead valve technology to keep the engine cooler for longer. A flathead engine has valves next to the pistons, but an overhead engine has valves above the cylinder head. These engines are more compact, efficient and rely on a less complex drive system, which makes them easier to repair with replacement wood chipper parts.
More capacity and less debris
The Snapper chipper/shredder combines two features that are useful for speeding up lawn maintenance. It has a medium chipping capacity that handles sticks up to 3 inches in diameter and a debris reduction ratio of 20:1, so it does an outstanding job reducing the volume of material in the chipper.
Convenient accessories for cleaning
The Snapper combo chipper/shredder comes with additional accessories for cleaning. The package includes a dual-brush collection bag and a vacuum kit with a separate 10-foot hose, making it easier to clean up wood chips and other debris.
Even the best wood chipper can take damage over the years. Keep your Snapper chipper/shredder working like new with parts and accessories from Sears PartsDirect. When you need a part, choose your model from the list above.
