Less Motor Wear = Better Performance

5 Year Warranty

Instead of wearable brushes, Milwaukee® engineered more steel and copper into its POWERSTATE™ brushless motor. This results in longer motor life as a result of reduced friction, less heat buildup, and higher efficiency.

Brushless Means More Power
