The Dewalt impact driver (I assume it’s the 887) drove the screw in faster and it didn’t need its hammering function until it got very close to the end

I forgot all the nitty gritty between brushed and brushless besides carbons in the brushed motors… but long story short, brushless motors are what replace brushed motors… it’s the reason why 99.9% of all new power tools that come out today are brushless

Brushless motors are without a doubt much more powerful. If you compare a Makita brushless vs the brushed impact one you have, you’ll notice a slight difference… granted its nothing to write home about if you don’t deal with larger screws/fasteners but in general a tool with a brushless motor will perform better than a tool with a brushed motor—-> longer battery runtime, more power, no need to change carbons etc etc

The only reason they still make brushed motors is because people still buy them because they’re cheap… and they still get the job done!!!

Which is the most important factor… but if you have money to buy a brushless tool, I’d recommend that in all honesty

I have a few Milwaukee brushed tools myself that I rarely use but when I do they never let me down. But I did choose to buy mostly brushless after some time… with some tools it’s unavoidable like the cordless Milwaukee nailers, the cordless Makita planner, the cordless Dewalt roofing nailer (all brushless) and so on
