  1. I'm pretty well committed to the 18V DeWalt tools, owning 5 of them and two batteries, so no interest in moving to another manufacturer or even the 20V Dewalt line.  However, I would like to add a cordless hedge trimmer to my arsenal, and DeWalt doesn't offer that.    Doing some research, I've discovered that the older 18V Black & Decker Firestorm line used the same type of batteries (HP932K-2 or PS145), but when that brand went to the slide-in battery style ahead of DeWalt, support for the old style tools disappeared overnight.  So far, searching for a used trimer in that form factor has been futile.

    Just wondering if any other company/brand uses/used the same type of battery.  I think the Porter-Cable acquisition came later and so there was never a sharing of battery footprint with that brand until the slide-in battery style.  Note, I'm assuming that B&D and Porter-Cable currently share the 18V battery footprint.

    Any insight appreciated.
