Contemplating buying a new Ryobi battery powered string trimmer that I'll be getting more "accessories" for in the future. Is a "brushless" motor that much better than a regular motor? Like $60 more better?

What does the THF say?

Love mine.

Brushless technology is great. My brushless drills, drivers, grinders etc. stay way cooler, batteries last longer between charges, and they seem to be lighter. I really notice it on my trolling motor, when you step up to a bigger brushless motor like that, the difference is even more noticed.

So what makes brushless better? This is something I’ve wondered for some time.

No wearing of brushes, no carbon dust, more efficient and longer life due to no brushes to wear.

I've not had good luck with Ryobi and I'm a Dewalt fan now. You will get what you paid for either way.

Brushless!!!
It's a no brainer.

I upgraded to a brushless motor on my son’s traxxas RC truck and the thing really flys!

Brushless. It’s worth it.

Brushless is where its at son. If your going to use it every now and then brushed is fine. If your going to use it every day go brushless


Garland has a nice track if your in the area

All my ryobi have brushes and I’ve not had a problem out of any of them. They’re all well used besides the multi tool. I just can’t find a reason to use it that one of the other tools won’t do.

quieter, too...…...

Do your old attachments fit the Dewalt? I've asked this question every time we had cordless threads. Never had a reply.

You have more attachments than I have guns.

See?

i doubt it plus ryobi sux
