Tools are often progressive – innovation ensures that there’s always an improvement that can be made to push the limits of power and user efficiency. Among the latest developments for consumers seeking out a combination of durability, power and energy efficiency, Ryobi brushless tools have found their spot by bringing about an incredible breakthrough over any brushed tool that came before. What makes them different? Why should you choose a brushless tool over their brushed counterparts?
What distinguishes Ryobi’s brushless tools is a new generation of motors that doesn’t use noisy, dirty, and often-replaced carbon brushes. Just like in brushed motors, the brushless motor uses electrical current to create motion via magnetic fields, but it’s under digital control. A circuit board instead of a carbon brush controls the flow of electrical energy and coordinates the activity of the motor. The benefits include not only a simpler mechanism that eliminates physical contact within the motor but also a substantial improvement in longevity and efficiency.
Every second, its voltage-sensing technology dynamically shifts the amount of power that goes through the motor to meet the task. This sort of smart power-management would not be possible with brushed tools, and is certainly something that you can’t do with your arms (you can’t give them more power if they’re already moving as hard as they can, for example). The result is extreme efficiency, and you’re also using only the power that you need, both of which lead to much greater battery life and greatly reduced energy waste. If you’re drilling through the hardest woods or simply tightening screws with care, Ryobi’s brushless tools will not be sending you any more (or any less) charge than you’re actually using.
There are fewer moving parts, for starters, so brushless motors are inherently less likely to wear out. There’s no carbon brush or commutator to make mischief; there’s less that can go wrong with a brushless tool, and so you will own a more reliable tool over the life of the product. A brushless tool can also be more compact, and sometimes lighter, than a comparable brushed one, although the Ryobi ONE+ HP 18V Brushless Impact Wrench is the heaviest impact wrench I’ve ever used and it’s still brushless.
Despite the increased value – brushless is more efficient and lasts longer – paying over the odds for a brushless tool is not desirable, especially if used for the quick repair of a damaged item or as a flat-pack householder. But for anyone who generally prefers to spend a little more on a product that will last longer or perform better, the investment in a brushless tool is worth it. That said, for the serious DIYer, nothing beats the physical sweep of a handheld drill.
Furthermore, repairs may need to address the intricate, circuit board-driven mechanism, so that, in compensation for being less frequently in need of attention, brushless tools might require more skilled hands – either the user’s or those of a pro. Overall, however, the pros of brushless technology – from energy efficiency to durability – are usually deemed to far more than offset these concerns.
Maintain your Ryobi brushless tools for proper performance and increased life by keeping them clean and debris-free, especially the electronics. Brushless tools have a better lifespan than standard powered tools and, by taking care not to expose them to extreme temperatures and by handling them properly, they’ll remain a fixture of your tool arsenal for years to come.
Brushless technology is upping the ante in power tools with more torque and more power-per-pound – evidence of an industry that is living up to its ‘innovation’ claim. As Ryobi products illustrate, people don’t just want powerful, durable tools, they want smarter tools that don’t waste energy.
When you buy into Ryobi’s brushless line, you’re betting on the future of your project, your home and your livelihood. With higher efficiency, longer lifespan and more power, it’s a tool that is simply better prepared for the work you have in front of you. It should come as no surprise that these tools are increasingly in demand among professionals and DIY-ers, ready for anything and set for years of satisfying work.
The secret of the brushless tools’ good performance is that, as well as lasting longer, they allow Ryobi to deliver a set charge to the tool while it is operating, allowing it to cut more efficiently, use less energy, and last longer. Having seen the inside of brushless versus brushed tools, I have to say the brushed tool’s battery is not doing the brass brushes any favours As anyone who has always wanted a better tool can attest, brushless technology is a great step forward. They last a long time and perform better than even the best of the brushed tools. For the discerning tool buyer, brushless tools are a great way to start moving up into better tools. For the industry, brushless technology is just one of the ways that modern engineering and technology are coming together to make devices that help people do their jobs better.
