Makita 18V and XGT Cordless Drills Do NOT Have the Same Torque

Why don’t the numbers match up?

The GFD02D is powered by a Makita-built brushless motor that delivers 585 in.lbs. of Max Torque. It offers two speed settings (0-550 and 0-2,200 RPM). An ultra-smooth variable speed trigger provides optimum control.
