Hello glencoe1691,

It's never good when a tool outlasts the availability of parts for said tool. The manufacture has discontinued that part with no substitute or replacement part number. You may have to do some serious web searching to locate one or try to fabricate one that will work.

Good luck,

I bought a handle from Lehman's. It is not the same as the handle that was originally on the trimmer, but it is sure better than no handle. I think you can buy these other places, too. It is called "Stout's Backsaver Grip." They have a website: link removed Hope this helps.
