Just wanted to say that I have one with the new cap and I still can't get more than 5 minutes before the nice "auto-feeder" either feeds all my line out or just fails to feed at all.It's especially bad when using the sidewalk trimmer mode (rotated 90 degress). In that mode the auto-feeder helps make it impossible to do the job.I've owned a few products from B&D; and for the most part they work fine. But this one is the most infuriating device I've ever used.
