Imagine a rod 1 inch long,hang a one pound weight from the very end if it and you have one inch pound of torque. Torque is a twisting force. The higher the rating the more powerful the drill. This is about as well as I can explain it.

it is a standard rating to allow each company to give a comparision. the problem is each drlll may have several speeds and gear ratios. you could find a high torque drill that turns too slow or doesnt have long drilling time. stick with a name brand and expect to spend at least 100.

the more lbs per inch - the tighter the torque and thus the more powerfull the drill.

The higher the better. Use to compare with others

That just tells you the "turning force", not the max speed.
