Hammer drills ranked by max torque

10 hammer drills from Makita, Milwaukee and Ryobi, in order of the max torque each maker publishes on its US product page or manual. Highest first. Figures are as published, not tested by us, and makers do not always measure the same way, so treat close figures as close. Each tool is listed once: a bare tool stands for its kits.
