Geared and Gearless Tool Offerings Geared Tools generally have higher torque levels and broader power range, while gearless tools offer reduced maintenance and downtime.Two Types of Gearing Planetary gears are inline speed reduction gears. The greater the reduction, the higher the torque levels. Right angle bevel gears turn the spindle of the machine 90 from the motor. Typically there is a speed reduction but not as much as planetary gears. Patented balancer compensates for vibration when running under load, resulting in a smooth operating performance.
