So this model 985 is NOT brushless. Is that correct ?
2089722
Correct. It does have brushes. after about 6 months of very light use (stressing very light) it has started to giver issues. The speed fluctuates. Does not reach full speed unless it surges. I would go with the current model or a different brand
2089723
Correct, DeWalt Model DCD985L2 is not a brushless tool. If you are interested in a brushless hammerdrill kit, please take a look at Model DCD795D2 kit.

I dont know how to explain it fully but basically the brushless has less parts coming in contact in order to work where as brushed does. These brushes over time bind or loose contact making the motor stop wotking or burn up. I am a brushless fan all the way. You dont have to break them in, they handle more power and higher rpm. They are more spendy but they last longer. Id always spend the extra money to get brushless. I hope this is of help

No. As far as I know Makita only has brushless motors on drills and impacts.

I don't believe it is. I strongly recommend you skip this one even if it is. It is so bad it dropped over 100 usd after I purchased and reviewed it. Purchase a better maybe more expensive model

Absolutely, it is brushless, and goes like heck with 11.1 volt Lipo battery. option purchase.

no, this model is not self-propelled. It is, however, light and easily maneuverable.

Doug, This is a brushless unit. I have been using it for the last 2 months, very pleased with it. Great battery life and much more powerful then the Ryobi it replaced. Good luck.

This is the brushed motor, it's been listed wrong. Look at the number of wires on the motor to determine if it's brushed or not. 3 wires= brushless 2 wires = brushed

Thanks for the inquiry. As long as it is brushless can run any lipo battery that is made for this model.Best regardsRichard

This is not the brushless version. However, it is the hammer drill version.

Why do people (like the ones below) bother to answer when they don't even understand the question? Anywho, while Ventech doesn't specifically say so on their website I'm fairly positive this is a brushed motor. The reason why is because they also sell a variable speed controller to be used with the fans and it states "This router speed controller works with any universal AC/DC brush-type motor". Since they don't sell any other speed controllers, and due to the price of the fan, I doubt it's brushless.

Thanks for the inquiry. The VXL models come with brushless motors.Best regardsRichard

I did not notice any difference in durability after half a year of pretty hard work with both of them. But I do feel a difference in torque: not the maximum, which seems to be more or less the same, but the brushless driver is much harder to work carefully with. It feels digital: one or zero, on or off. The non-brushless driver can be run fast or slow, depending on the strength of your index finger, but that doesn't work very well with the brushless one.

I use it to cut zinc for stained glass. I would say it is pretty noisy. I'm not sure about the brushless motor. The motor is enclosed.

Hi, Just received model S 3765 today. It does have the brushroll shutoff. This feature is used when vacuuming hard surface floorse the brush is not needed. This model has additional tools that the S3755 does not incude. It has a 25 foot cord, the hard floor tool and the powered hand tool. Other than these additions it appears to be the same and the S3755.

Yes. The two brushed motors can later be changed for a single brushless. Will need a speed control also and about a 2150 kv brushless motor for 1/8 scale. At the time I researched, it was around $150 to do this.

yes I believe the motors are brushless. I dont know if you can upgrade the battery
