The advantage of brushless motors over brushed ones is that they have no friction since there are no carbon brushes. Without carbon brushes, the motors are more efficient and have a longer lifespan as there is no wear and tear (the carbon brushes in brushed motors wear out with use). They produce less noise, maintain their torque at all speeds, do not overheat, and require no maintenance.
The Brushless Makita motor is precisely designed to be up to 50% more efficient than comparable models. This means that a fully charged 18V lithium-ion battery will last almost twice as long as a product with a conventional motor.
