INGCO 1.5J cordless rotary hammer review: cheapest cordless

This INGCO cordless hammer is the cheapest way into a cordless SDS Plus tool in this category at around ₱3,900. It is also the listing with the least verifiable information.

What we can confirm

20V lithium-ion, an SDS Plus chuck, and 1.5 J of impact energy. That is what the seller states, and it is genuinely useful information as far as it goes.

At 1.5 J this is a light-duty tool. The 6 mm, 8 mm, and 10 mm anchor holes that make up most household fixing are well within it. Anything approaching 20 mm will be slow, and dense aggregate concrete will test it. It is the lowest impact energy of any hammer in this comparison.

What the SDS Plus chuck buys you, even at this level, is real: a piston strikes the bit directly rather than a clutch vibrating a chuck, which is why it outperforms a hammer drill in masonry.

What we cannot confirm, and why that matters

The listing names no model code. INGCO sells several 20V cordless hammers in the 1.5 J range, and their published no-load speeds, impact rates, and concrete capacities differ from one another.

Without a code, there is no data sheet to check. So the no-load speed, impact rate, maximum drilling capacity, whether the motor is brushless, and whether a battery is included are all unstated. We have left them that way rather than borrow figures from a model that may not be this one.

That is a genuine drawback, not a technicality. Concrete capacity in particular decides whether the tool can set the anchor you bought it for, and here you would be finding out after delivery.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱3,900 as of August 16, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee.

It is the cheapest cordless SDS Plus hammer here, and for someone who wants to drill a few small anchors without a cord, that has real appeal.

The catch is what sits just above it. The INGCO 20V combo kit costs modestly more and delivers 4.5 J, three times the impact energy, with two 4.0 Ah batteries, a charger, and a published data sheet. Unless the budget is absolutely fixed, that is the better purchase.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want the cheapest possible cordless SDS Plus tool for occasional small anchors, and you are comfortable buying without a full specification. Everyone else should spend a little more.

Alternatives to consider

The INGCO 20V combo kit gives you 4.5 J, two 4.0 Ah batteries, and a published data sheet for modestly more. If a cord is acceptable, the Wadfow WRH1D26-2 delivers 2.5 J and 26 mm at the same price with a full specification behind it.
