A drill with a brushless motor adjusts its speed, torque, and power supply to match the task at hand. It'll sense if you're driving screws into a light material like drywall or a dense material like mahogany, and use only enough power to accomplish the job.

The absence of brushes results in less friction and heat generation, which leads to increased power, longer runtime, and improved durability. Brushless drills also tend to be lighter, more compact, and less prone to overheating. However, these advantages usually come at a higher price point.

Milwaukee Tool and its parent company TTI manufacturers many of its cordless power tools and battery-powered products overseas in factories located in China, Vietnam, Mexico, Germany, and the Czech Republic. However, some are assembled in the US from components made in other nations.

U.S. military services adopt the M17 and M18 The US Army primarily ordered the M17 version, whilst the Air Force and Navy opted for the M18 version as their standard service pistol.
