Hmmm...after reading specs, it looks as though Makita uses a brushless motor (I assume that because of the 4 pole reference). It also offers the most torque for the 18V systems out of the box.

Step-up to Makita’s new lxt 18v lithium-ion cordless driver-drill. Lithium-ion delivers 280% more work over the lifetime of the battery and gives you 2 times more cycles than traditional ni-mh batteries. How did we do it? Take lithium-ion and a new 4-pole motor that delivers more power. Next, add the motor with a new 3-speed all metal transmission and you've got 18 volts of power with 560 in. Lbs. Torque and 40% less weight. Quality built, this driver-drill can take the punishment of a jobsite day after day and still ask for more. Ergonomically designed, the lxt driver-drill fits comfortably in your hand. The driver drill has a compact design at only 9-3/8" length and weighs only 4.6 lbs. For less operator fatigue. A 30-minute optimum charger and 18v li-ion battery communicate throughout the charging process using a built-in chip in the battery and a computer processor in the charger. Lxt comes with a 3-year tool/ 1-year battery and charger warranty.

3 speed: 0-300, 0-600, 0-1,700 RPM
Comfortable grop and weight: 4.6 lbs.
