The peak torque value is 0.714% higher than the max tightening torque – that’s very close agreement.
1969
brought the first of many innovations that changed the whole of the
construction industry (and therefore the world) with the first rechargeable
power tool, the 6500D battery powered drill. While not entirely cordless (it
had a short cord connecting it to the battery pack), it did free it from the
constraints of being attached to the wall for its power. Our last metric for these drills rated and ranked their overall user-friendliness and ease of use.
But, for $40 (2015) you can keep that old drill running and making all the holes you need without having to buy a whole new set. Makita’s 18V and XGT flagship cordless hammer drills are both advertised as delivering 141 Nm of peak torque. However, the XGT model is said to deliver 140 Nm max tightening torque while the 18V drill delivers 125 or 130 Nm max tightening torque (depending on the publication source). This chart shows the differences between max tightening and advertised max torque specs for the models of Makita cordless drills and hammer drills discussed above.
Makita has been producing high-quality professional tools for more than a century. While they sometimes appear to be behind their competition, in new tool releases, what comes out of Makita is high-quality tools that last a long time. Makita backs your purchase with a 3-year warranty on the tool, battery, and charger. You can also get it as part of a 2-tool combo kit, which adds in an XDT14Z impact driver, for $329. We recommend this avenue while it’s available since it costs $30 less and includes an extra tool. Their
control technology continuously watches for the demand while you work and pulls
just the energy needed from the battery and supplies just the amount of current
as you need it.
A variable speed trigger lets you further dial in your speeds for the task at hand. For impact rates, this tool sees up to 8,250 BPM on low and 27,000 BPM at the top end. This drill easily drove the large lag screw to the full depth, making it about half of the way in high gear, then easily finished it off in the lower gear. This test was through a 2×4 into a 4×4 on end, with an appropriate pilot hole drilled.

It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. They listen to what we [consumers] say and put in a lot of effort to create products that not only feel good in our hands but are also well-balanced and allow us to work without pains and strains. Having a well-balanced tool reduces fatigue and the risk of harm during extended periods of use on the job site.
It has an efficient brushless motor with two speed settings and dual LED lights to illuminate the work area. Long, it is a compact drilling and driving solution with superior comfort and handling. Includes (1) 18V LXT 1.5 Ah battery, (1) battery charger, and (1) tool bag. If I’m understanding all of this correctly, it would mean that, with this new 18V cordless drill, Makita’s advertised “max torque” spec of 970 in-lbs is around 50.7% higher than its maximum fastening torque value. Makita’s 18V brushless compact hammer drill delivers a maximum lock torque of 60 Nm (~531 in-lbs) and maximum hard tightening torque of 54 Nm (~478 in-lbs).

With 0-3,500 BPM [blows per minute], the hammer drill packs a powerful punch. The new XPH14 is also 1-1/8″ shorter than the earlier models, making it more compact. It seems that this is why the drill doesn’t ship with an makita cordless drill auxiliary side handle, because it doesn’t deliver “a full 970 in-lbs” of max fastening torque. Makita USA advertises this model as delivering 1250 in-lbs max torque, which corresponds to the 141 Nm peak torque value.
