Hey Pete,

I currently have dewalts and I want to swap them out.
The advantages that the brushless has over brushed
are just what I want

Most brushless that I have seen,
are twice the size and weight of the dewalt
just to get the same performance.

I was curious to see if there is a brushless equivalent that
matched the dewalts.

Thanks,
Dennis

I am curious, why is it so important to have a brushless motor?

The only ones that I am aware of that has some serious power (for the
hobbiest) are the Astro 040 Brushless Motor www.astroflight.com

Thanks guys.
I like harbor freight as well.

But I'm pretty sure that their drill
motors are brushed.

I'm looking for a "brushless" equivalent to
the brushed Dewalt/Harbor Freight motors.

Cheers.
Dennis

I buy most of all my tools for work from Harbor Freight. That have a
great
warranty and good selection. Yah there cheap but there cheap ;).
