Makita Brushless cordless drill 36V

Brushless Motor

The brushless motor is a non-negotiable feature at this voltage level:

• Efficiency: Brushless motors are electronically controlled, wasting less energy as heat and providing 50% or more runtime per battery charge compared to brushed motors.¹

   

• Power & Life: They deliver more torque and speed, and have a much longer tool life because there are no carbon brushes to wear out.²

   

2. Voltage and Application

The 36V (or equivalent higher-voltage systems) are designed for heavy-duty applications where standard 18V drills struggle:³

• Maximum Torque: They produce extreme levels of torque (often over 1,200 in-lbs), essential for drilling large holes ($1 \text{ inch}$ or more) with auger bits, self-feed bits, or hole saws in thick wood.

• Continuous Power: Ideal for sustained, continuous drilling tasks where the motor needs to stay cool and powerful.

• High-Speed Drilling: The higher voltage allows the motor to maintain higher speeds under load, significantly speeding up work.
