All are brushed.
Everything electrical we had in our house or garage was taken to the Philippines a decade or so ago, and everything worked perfectly well on the 60hz electric supply over there, Only the washing machine had problems, but that had some fancy microprocessor in it. All my power tools worked perfectly.I don't think it will run well from a transformer as it is 60 hertz as the US electric supply is. Supply is 50 hertz in UK.

One more thing, plugs over there are reversible two pin, no earth, no live or neutral etc etc. Everything worked perfectly normal no matter whist way it was plugged in. I do think a lot of what we are told about electricity in the U.K. is twaddle.
I was quite surprised just how many items we had that don’t have an earth. The house we had built over there didn’t come with an earth system, but at the last minute I insisted they installed it in the kitchen and utility room, where the wet stuff would be.Polarity in the uk with earth attached is crucial.
