Why did you guys make the tool with less torque than the xph14? Even 40v max is getting whooped by the competitors 18v. And having more torque in the impact driver and drill drivers is very important. In concrete form work we got to drill holes in some hard materials and drive in decent sized concrete anchors and we want to feel confident that the tool will get the job done.
