Have a Black & Decker, battery powered weed whacker that failed this afternoon. Not used too much and the housing that holds and turns the string assembly fell off. Spoke to a technician and apparently that part is molded to and part of the armature assembly. Had two 18 V batteries that didn't last too long either before a recharge was needed. All in all it was a piece of junk. Doesn't pay to fix and am looking for some recommendations for a mid-priced replacement. Also, is it worth getting a gas powered unit vs battery? MLD
