Like I have a brushed Makita with original battery and a brushless Hercules from harbor freight has more umph but the Jacobs chuck quality isn't the same. The Hercules one jams when changing out bits. Compared to the Makita that I've had for longer with worse abuse is still working fine but is sluggish compared to the brushless Hercules. And the battery life is worse on the Hercules or something in the drill that makes it stop constantly when I'm boring holes in wood.
But here's where it gets complicated: a manufacturer/designer chooses where that efficiency gets used. A brushless motor might make more power/torque but consume just as much electricity as a brushless, or might make the same amount of power but the battery lasts longer.
I have -lots- of brushed and brushless Makita tools - I have 9 different 1/4" impact drivers and I use them on a regular basis. I bought some brushless ones a few years ago thinking that they'd be a massive improvement. But to this day, I have never grabbed a brushed impact and given it a second thought. They all work flawlessly. I'm sure that, side by side, the brushless ones would drive more screws per battery. But even the brushed ones have never left me disappointed in how long the battery lasts.
In my opinion, a quality tool that will last is worth much more than a slightly more efficient motor in a subpar tool.
