I've burned one of the Hitachi's up too. (Nice drill BTW and I like it.
I'm treating my second one with a bit more care.) 600 to 700" pounds
sounds like a lot but 651 inch # is only 54 ft lb and I can hold that
from turning with one hand on the aux handle without working up a sweat.

I think you will find the newer 18 volt lithium powered have a bit more
torque although they look almost identical.
Drill motor (variable speed, variable torque, and hammer capability),
two Lithium batteries, Aux or torque handle, battery charger, and
carrying case for a bit over $200 at Lowes, Home Depot, and most other
hardware stores.
