What’s the Difference Between Brushed vs Brushless Power Tools EXPLAINED! | The Beginner’s Guide

Thanks for the explanation.

Im heading to the dewalt store first thing in the morning.

Many times. You dont need the extra cost of a brushless tool.

BRUSHLESS IS A SCAM. Brushed tools still around durable cheaper to fix. Brushless expensive although a nit better but not by much, once it breaks down have to buy another one.

The last part doesn't explain why Brushed tools are good for casual user, DIY, and home repairs. The only PRO that I see Brushed over Brushless is that Brushed is cheaper.

There are two things that you forgot to mention when it came to your brushed versus brushless tools. Unlike brushed models, brushless motors are easy to control at low speeds, which also makes such motors good for RC vehicles. You also forgot to mention that such motors offer quieter operation.

Exactly what I needed to know

Thanks. Most casual users are fine with the brushed models. It's the pros that need brushless tools because of the heavy use they get.

There must be some advantage to brushed over brushless. I know some tradesmen with really old DeWalt tools and the older ones are all brushed. That speaks volumes. I believe brushless might have more power, but don't last as long.

Thank you, Shannon Evans, for your video. Regarding 0:56, the brush on a brushed motor is made from Graphite which is a form of Carbon. Graphite is also used in pencil lead as well as lubricant.

Not to be confused with bush vs bushless.

Incorrect. For the same price a brushed is a higher quality, longer lasting, more robust tool. Brushed will also weigh less and have more finesse/control due to the design.
If you want a drill to last and do any job brushed is best for the price. Never need to fap about with batteries or charging or running out of charge.
That said if you have a good charge and battery ready production line, use multiple tools that use the same batteries, there are multiple people on site so multiple cords are multiple trip hazards, speed is more important than finesse, and cost is irrelevant as it is a tax deduction AND you pass on the cost (and replacement costs) to customers than cordless is great, bugger the environment, churn and burn baby .. also better for tool makers!

The brushless is gonna win everytime when use squeeze the trigger fully and half squeeze trigger on the brushed

old blue ryobi is better!!

weak you have downvote disabled

If you are a pro consider ms ryobi big brother Milwaukee

Amazing explanation, and better yet, Now I know hot to pronounce Ryobi!

I never use Brushed only Brushless

Just bought a brushless hammer drill to replace my old brushed. To my disappointment it does not have nearly the power of the brushed model. I knew there had to be a catch. I can hold the chuck in my hand and stop the motor even though it's rated at a higher torque. My old drill would tear your hand off. Just ordered a new brush motor for the old drill.

She tried very hard not to laugh in the camera when she said "our brushed unit will get the job done." It was so bad the camera had to take a break. In other words, go with the brushless.

Buy once, cry once. Spending a little extra for the better, longer lasting tool is usually worth it.

You should discontinue brushed

I like women with big ears

A woman teaching mostly men…DEI totally unrealistic

Brushed or brushless. It doesn’t matter

Clear, concise explanation that was as easy on the subject matter as it was on the eyes. Thank you.

Glad I found the video. This article too talks something similar. Glad both corroborate each other

Generally excellent, helpful video but I found all the arm-waving a little distracting.

NO point in having a tool with electrical brushes.

Where's Al & Tim Taylor???

I have a few brushless ryobi tools but the dual roller vacuum is the best it has more suction than my dyson v11 I also have the brushless 12 inch 18v chainsaw it's awesome plus a few other brushed and brushless tools

Stil can't decide.

worng info:
Performance will be same if you use same battery pack on both sides, on this demo, brushed one has normal battery pack and brushless has HP battery pack!

Very simple and clear explanation, great job

And now i know. 😮

how much is the price of handrill

Please don’t mansplain to me. I’m not kidding this is awesome.

Ryobi need to make a big sds hammer drill that will take 2 to 4 in concrete hole bits

Does ryobi have a non-HP variation of their bldc tools?
