The last time this magazine looked at 14.4-volt drills was in 1999, when the most powerful tool produced 330 inch-pounds of torque in the low speed setting. This time around, the top performer put out 484 inch-pounds. But that increase in power comes at the cost of some added weight. The current crop averages 5 pounds apiece, which is a half pound heavier than the models we tested in 1999. And the heaviest 14.4-volt tools outweigh some 18- and 24-volt models.
