Guys
Anyone notice what’s the difference in the 20 v drill has this week for €100

Versus the 20v green one they had about a year ago for about €60

What is the significance of a brushless motor? (I just use 'em occasionally, no idea how they work!)

They tend to be a fair bit more efficient so better battery life and also deliver more torque. Tend to be better machines generally.

Spot on. More torque less power required no brushes meaning the motor lasts longer. All round a better unit

Basically there are multiple fixed coils, the magnet part rotates. Computer charges the individual coils on and off depending on where the rotor is in relation to the body of the motor, these electromagnetic thingies then push/pull the rotor and you get spinnyness.

That’s my understanding of it. The computer that tells the motor what to do, and takes the signals from the trigger is what’s gonna break long before the motor does.

I like thingies and spinnyness in an explanation.

The new black one has no mention of hammer action either

Don’t think the old ones do either to be fair.

I got their angle grinder and it gives up after 30minutes, the warranty not much good if you need the grinder to do the job then and there as took nearly 2 weeks for another to arrive, sort of give up on lidl power tools now
