Yeah, the ones i got are brushed. They like to spark during start and stop. Used them for a few days building light projects, and they seem to be holding up well. I have only used the impact driver so far, but it kinda seems like it engages a little more softly than my ridgid tools. Feels like a little more control of the force of the impact with the Milwaukee, but, I think my Ridgid is more powerful. holding the Milwaukee is more comfortable though. I would be interested to try a fuel branded one now, but, I think I still like my Ridgid ones better, but that may be more of a reason of familiarity rather than function. Kinda hard to pick a winner. I like them both.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
