didn't need it but bought it, bought the 3 year warranty as well for like $7... figured maybe I'll need a new battery

Wasted your money on that.

The tool has a 5yr and the battery 3yr.

I guess I can always return the warranty then. Good info though!

Just picked up the last one. Actually bought one of the 40v one and saw the 24v on clearance as well. May end up returning one though as others said the battery is with it at $49. I did buy the $99 mower as well. Is it better to keep the 24v or 40v trimmer battery? A friend said the 40v is too heavy for a trimmer.

Stay with a gas trimmer like Echo SRM-225, which will last forever. Batteries will die in time. If motor dies on this, it will go to a landfill.

I think this is dead. The site says it's out of stock with no options for in-store or online. Can someone confirm?

Saw this deal yesterday and ordered for free next day delivery. I honestly thought it was gonna be cancelled, but it show up today!
Someone mentioned it in the 24V trimmer thread and I order this instead.
