I have been waiting patiently. Do the engineers at DeWalt have any plans to manufacture a grass nylon string trimmer that I can slap in one of my current 18 volt xrp batteries, or will I be forced to buy another brand of cordless trimmer, battery & charger?

They are already making them under the brand Black&Decker.

Would you happen to know which model number it is?
It will be very helpful to use my existing DeWalt batteries.

I'm pretty sure it's a different battery system, though i don't own one so i can't comment.  I thought the same thing last year when I was in the market, but I couldn't wait forever so i ended up picking up a Worx 18v trimmer.  It's been awesome, so I'd recommend it.  Maybe someday dewalt will make one.

Hi I'm new here and I love bringing up dead posts...

I bought a generic grass trimmer from Lowes, an 18v model, and re-purposed the battery case to hold a Dewalt battery.  A buddy of mine had a broken Dewalt drill, so I basically cut off the female end of the drill where the battery plugs in and epoxied it to the male end of the el-cheapo battery casing.

Now I can use my Li-Ion batteries in it and it works like a dream!
