INGCO 20V 55Nm brushless impact drill review: best overall

The INGCO 55Nm 20V is our Best Overall cordless drill: a brushless 20V unit with a 13mm metal chuck for around ₱2,000, and the cheapest pick here that handles concrete.

How much can it actually drill?

55Nm of torque with a hammer mode is the line between “hangs a picture” and “mounts a TV bracket on a concrete wall.” It spins at 0-500 / 0-2,000 rpm across two mechanical gears: the low gear for driving long screws, the high gear for clean holes in wood. The 13mm metal chuck is the quiet upgrade here, because it grips bigger masonry bits without the slipping you get from a 10mm plastic chuck.

Its brushless motor is the reason we ranked it first. There are no carbon brushes wearing down inside, so it runs cooler, drains the battery slower, and outlasts a brushed drill. At around ₱2,000 that’s normally a ₱4,000-plus feature.

Is it built to last?

The 22+1+1 clutch gives you 22 torque steps plus drill and hammer modes, so you can dial it down for cabinet screws and not strip the head. A spindle lock and an LED work light round it out. Both sound minor until you’re changing bits one-handed under a sink.

The honest catch: the listing doesn’t state which kit variant ships. INGCO sells this drill bare, with one battery, or with two, and at this price it’s most likely the single-battery kit. Ask the seller before ordering. The included packs are also 2.0Ah, which is fine for an afternoon of shelf-hanging but short for a full day, so budget for a spare.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱2,000 as of July 30, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. This is the sweet spot of the category: you pay roughly ₱900 more than a basic 12V drill and get brushless efficiency, nearly four times the torque, a bigger chuck, and concrete capability. Spending ₱3,500 more on our premium pick buys 11 extra newton-metres and a second battery, which most homes will never need.

The other thing your money buys is INGCO’s dealer network in the Philippines. Parts and batteries are findable here, which is not true of most Shopee-first tool brands.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want one drill that covers everything a Pinoy home throws at it, from flat-pack furniture to a concrete wall, and you’d rather not replace it in two years. It’s the right choice for the homeowner who does real jobs a few times a month.

Alternatives to consider

If raw pulling power matters more to you than brand support, the KEELAT KCD012 20V brushless drill claims 80Nm at about the same price, though KEELAT publishes no rpm figures and has no service centers here. Want the full kit with two batteries and 47 accessories? The INGCO CIDLI20668 is our Best Premium pick at around ₱5,500, on the same P20S battery platform.
