Anyone have the 20v weed eater from dewalt? I've already got a bunch of 20v tools so I thought the weed eater might be a good addition. How well does it work? Amazon reviews are mixed.

Gas only for me for anything to do with cutting or trimming weeds or brush.

Last summer I sold my gas weedeater and bout an 18 volt lithium Ryobi weedeater. I did this so that my wife can go out and do some yard work if she wants to (she could not deal with the vibrations from the gas weedeater ).
Well, after several months here is what I think of a cordless vs. a gas weedeater.
If you have a smallish yard and you stay on top of the yard work then an electric one will do just fine. I can almost weedeat the front and back yard as well as edge around the driveway with a single 3.0 amp/hr extended range battery, and I have a small 0.25 acre city lot. The cordless weedeater does not have the power of a gas one. However, not having to deal with gas at all, not having to think about storage or tune ups is really nice. I can grab the cordless one after it has sat for months and go straight to full throttle seconds after I pick it up. I did buy a couple of extra batteries for mine as I also picked up an 18 volt blower to clean the patio and driveway off once I'm done.
As long as you know the limitations of a cordless, and you are ok with those limitations then you'll be fine.

But honestly, I use the 20v dewalt stuff every day so I already keep batteries charged. Making sure I have mixed gas is more of a hassle than changing a battery.

Beats the crap out of these sorry gas cans these days and I don't have to worry about ethanol. I saw where Sthil is making a battery powered mower as well. Has me curious.
The thing I really want is the battery powered automatic mower. Its like a roomba for your lawn
