The unit is sealed so I have not disassembled it to physically observe it's construction, but I believe it does have brushes. I did preform a simple test, that leads me to believe this. I used an old school AM radio and tuned it to a frequency where there are no radio stations Broadcasting. Then I held it close to the Makita screw driver and energized it. I could hear static noise on the radio that was correlated to the screw driver operation. I know from electrical radio theory, that a sparking connection (electric current flowing though the brush to commutator gap) generates a broad band spectrum of RF energy that a AM radio can pick up. I repeated this test with a battery powered drill where I can see it has brushes and got the same results. I hope this helps. I'm personally pleased with the performance of the Makita screw driver. The torque clutch setting is electronic. When the clutch hits the setting limit, the motor stops instantly. The built in work light works well and can be switched off manually.

Makita 7.2V Lithium-Ion Cordless Battery Powered 1/4 Hex Driver-Drill Kit with Auto-Stop Clutch

Makita 7.2V Lithium-Ion Cordless Battery Powered 1/4 Hex Driver-Drill Kit with Auto-Stop Clutch

Q: Hi. Are the drive buttons on both sides? Ie for left handed users.

the drive buttons are only located on 1 side. once you engage either the drive button or the reverse button and trigger is pulled it shouldn't make a difference as to what side the engaging buttons are on as you don't need to hold those buttoms just the trigger as you would on any drill

Q: Is this Makita better than the Dewalt with Gyroscopic or the Milwaukee with speed control built into the trigger?

Hello, I used the Dewalt for a few years and had to replace it when the gyro quit working. It lasts about a year as an appliance tech. The Makita I still use after 3 years. It seems to have the same power and battery life is still good.
