Power, not torque

The Drill motors have much more power: .87 N*M/2 * 19670RPM/2 *2*PI/60 = 450 Watts

Chiaphua power = 500RPM/2 *2.2 N*m/2*2*PI/60 = 317 Watts

Hope this clears it up. In other words, if you gear the drill to the same output free speed of the Chiaphua, the drill will have more torque.
