The attachments are apparently somewhat standardized across brands. But I haven't tested it myself. https://old.reddit.com/r/Dewalt/c...r/gz2ucif/

Great tool here, runs like a consumer gas tool easily, finally don't feel like I need to second guess battery lawn tools with this and the newest flexvolt blower.
FWIW if you don't need a bunch of batteries and you're a cheapskate like me you can buy the power head super cheap on ebay and then salvage a trimmer head from most any gas trimmer that takes accessories (find a broken one on CL/Facebook Market/etc) as long as it has a large cutting path then put the Husqvarna string head on it and you've got the setup.
Note that in the "free item" terms, it says you must either pick up both at same store, or do ship-to-home for both items.
This looks like a great unit, and I'll see if the "attachment capable" is capable of attaching to anything else I have (several systems through the years).
The battery naming is confusing because the 3AH battery is also 9AH when used in a 20V tool. Note that the original "60V Flexvolt" battery was only 2AH / 6AH@20V. So this is the newer bigger Flexvolt battery; getting two of them in this deal is what really makes it a deal...
Oh yeah, it says it comes with .080" line, which is average for medium-duty trimmers (light ones are only .065"). But the good news is that the specs say you can use .095" line which is better if you are doing heavy grass or weeds.
I'm already a DeWalt tool user and I have yet to pick a lawn tool company. I watched a Project Farm video comparing trimmers and he gave DeWalt a real positive review. EGO too.
Later, I "upgraded" to the matching DeWalt brush cutter head meant for this tool and was very, very disappointed. I wouldn't pay $20 for the DeWalt brush cutter in comparison.
