The other day, I needed a new cordless drill, so I bought one at Home Depot.  It came with two lithium ion batteries and a charger.  Plus, the batteries can be used in over 50 other devices.  So, when I discovered that my battery operated weed whacker had died, I decided to buy a weed whacker that would use my new lithium ion batteries.

When I went to Home Depot, I found a whole bunch of weed whackers but they all came with batteries and a charger.  According to my on line research, I should be able to buy the weed whacker without the batteries and charger for half the price of the whacker with the batteries and charger.  But, when I failed to find it in the stores, I decided to order it on line.

So far, no progress on the order.  Stay tuned.
