INGCO 20V Brushless Impact Drill 55Nm vs KEELAT KCD012 20V Brushless Drill
Both are 20V brushless drills at about the same price. Take the INGCO if you want published speed figures and a dealer network you can walk into. Take the KEELAT if you want the higher torque number and an anti-twist cutoff that protects your wrist on concrete.
The INGCO 20V Brushless Impact Drill 55Nm is our top cordless drills pick. On value, both cost about the same (₱2,000), and both share a 4.9★ owner rating.

These two land at about the same price with the same headline features: 20V, brushless, 13mm chuck, hammer mode. On paper KEELAT wins on torque. The reason our roundup ranks the INGCO higher is what happens after the sale.
Which one will you still be able to fix in two years?
This is the real difference, and it is not on the spec table.
INGCO has actual dealer and parts support in the Philippines. Hardware stores stock the brand, the P20S battery platform is shared across INGCO’s other 20V tools, and a dead battery or a stripped chuck is a purchase, not a problem.
KEELAT is a Shopee-first brand. The tools are well specified and very well rated, but there is no PH service centre network behind them. Warranty terms are stated by the seller rather than printed by the manufacturer, so if something fails outside the return window, your options are thinner.
For a drill you use twice a year, that matters less. For a drill you expect to own for a decade, it is the whole decision.
Is 80Nm worth having over 55Nm?
If both numbers were measured the same way, yes: 80Nm is meaningfully more twisting force, and it is the difference between working through a concrete wall comfortably and working through it slowly.
The problem is that they are not comparable numbers. INGCO publishes a full data sheet: 55Nm, 0 to 500 and 0 to 2,000 rpm across two mechanical gears, 30,000 blows per minute, 22 clutch settings plus drill and hammer. Every one of those is checkable.
KEELAT publishes 80Nm and no speed figures at all. No rpm, no impact rate. That does not make the number false, but it does mean nobody can verify it, and torque figures on Shopee listings are the most inflated spec in the whole power-tool category.
Our read: buy the KEELAT because you want its anti-twist safety and its bit kit, not because of the 80Nm.
Which is safer to use on a wall?
The KEELAT, and it is the one genuinely useful feature neither brand’s marketing explains well. Its anti-twist cutoff senses the bit binding and kills power before the drill body twists in your grip.
You want that when a masonry bit catches on rebar in a hollow block, which happens more often than you would like in a Philippine house. It matters twice as much if you drill overhead or one-handed on a ladder.
The INGCO’s answer is different: 22 clutch settings plus a dedicated drill and hammer position, which is finer control over how much force the tool will apply before it slips. That prevents a different problem (stripping screws and over-driving) but it will not save your wrist on a jam.
What you should check before you order either
Neither listing is clear about what is in the box. The INGCO listing does not say which kit variant ships, so battery count is genuinely uncertain, and INGCO’s compact packs are 2.0Ah, which is small if you plan a long day of drilling. Message the seller and confirm the battery count before you pay, whichever one you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is KEELAT or INGCO better in the Philippines?
INGCO is the safer long-term buy: it is stocked by hardware dealers nationwide, so spare batteries, chucks and service are things you can walk in and ask for. KEELAT is a Shopee-first brand with no comparable service network, so a fault usually means dealing with the seller. On the tools themselves the gap is much narrower than the brand gap.
Is KEELAT's 80Nm really stronger than INGCO's 55Nm?
On paper, yes, and 80Nm against 55Nm is not a small difference. Treat it with care though: INGCO publishes a full data sheet with speeds and impact rates, while KEELAT publishes torque and no rpm figures at all. A torque number with no test standard behind it is a claim, not a measurement, so buy the KEELAT for its features rather than on the strength of that one figure.
Do I need a hammer drill for concrete walls?
Yes, for hollow blocks and concrete you want hammer mode, and both of these have it. A plain driver-drill will polish a hole in concrete rather than cut one. Both also take a 13mm chuck, which is what lets you fit the larger masonry bits that wall work needs.
What is an anti-twist cutoff and does it matter?
It senses when the bit suddenly binds in the material and cuts power before the tool spins in your hand. It matters most when you are drilling concrete overhead or one-handed on a ladder, where a jammed bit can wrench your wrist. Only the KEELAT here has it.
