Makita Impact Drivers

A Makita 18V impact driver: Brushed or brushless?

A Makita brushed impact driver may be better suited to DIY enthusiasts taking on the occasional light-duty project. It offers a maximum torque of 165Nm, which is slightly lower than the brushless version at 170Nm. Both models, however, feature Xtreme Protection Technology, a variable speed control trigger and LED lights to help you work in gloomy conditions.

Broadly speaking, a Makita brushless impact driver will deliver greater power and the different configuration of its motor means it is more energy efficient as well as being easier to maintain. Whichever you choose, you can rest assured you’re getting a power tool of the highest quality, given Makita’s well-established reputation for excellence.
