Pros and cons
✓ Pros
- 5500 bpm is the fastest impact rate of any hammer here, which suits repetitive small anchor holes
- Compact and light for a corded hammer, so it fits between joists and inside cabinets
- 1700 rpm no-load speed makes it usable as an ordinary drill in wood and steel
- Ships with 3 SDS-Plus drills and a spare set of carbon brushes
- Backed by INGCO dealer and parts support across the Philippines
✗ Cons
- 1.7 J is the weakest impact energy in this comparison, and it asks the same money as a 1500 W tool delivering 5.5 J and 32 mm
- 22 mm concrete and 10 mm steel ceilings rule out large anchors and rebar dowels
- 650 W struggles in dense aggregate concrete, where progress slows sharply
- No chisels in the box despite the chipping-gun billing
The INGCO RGH6528 has the fastest impact rate in this category at 5500 bpm, but only 1.7 J behind it, and it asks the same money as a tool delivering 5.5 J.
How much hammer is it?
650 W, 1.7 J, 0-1700 rpm, 0-5500 bpm, drilling to 22 mm in concrete, 10 mm in steel, and 25 mm in wood.
The 1.7 J figure is the lowest of any corded tool here. That places it between a hammer drill and a full rotary hammer: fine for the 6 mm and 8 mm anchors that make up most household fixing, slow and hot in dense aggregate concrete or anywhere near its 22 mm ceiling.
The 10 mm steel capacity is also the smallest here, where nearly everything else manages 13 mm.
Where it is genuinely good
Two things it does better than any rival.
5500 bpm is the fastest impact rate in the category, and 1700 rpm the fastest no-load speed. On a long run of small anchor holes in block, that combination is quick, and it makes the tool genuinely usable as an ordinary drill in wood and steel, which most rotary hammers are not.
It is also compact and light, so it fits between joists and inside cabinets where a 1500 W tool simply will not go.
Is it sulit?
Around ₱7,000 as of August 16, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee.
This is where it falls down, and it is worth being blunt. The INGCO RH150028 in the same range, from the same store, lists at the same price and delivers 5.5 J and 32 mm in concrete with an anti-vibration system and chisels included. That is roughly three times the impact energy for the same money.
There are tools we would call good value at a lower price, and this is one of them. At its current listing, the only reason to choose it over its stablemate is if the compact body is genuinely necessary for your work.
Who should buy it
Buy this only if you specifically need a small, light, fast hammer for confined spaces and repetitive small anchors, and you have compared it against the stronger tools at the same price. Most people should not. See how it ranks in our best rotary hammers in the Philippines roundup, or browse more on our Home Improvement page. Our rotary hammer buying guide explains why joules matter more than watts.
Alternatives to consider
At the same price, the INGCO RH150028 gives you 5.5 J and 32 mm in concrete instead of 1.7 J and 22 mm. If you want something light and cheap that still hits properly, the Wadfow WRH1D26-2 delivers 2.5 J and 26 mm for considerably less.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 1.7 J enough for concrete?
For small holes, yes. Anchors of 6 to 10 mm in block and render are comfortably within it. In dense aggregate concrete, or on anything approaching its 22 mm ceiling, progress slows sharply and the tool gets hot. It sits between a hammer drill and a proper rotary hammer.
Does the 5500 bpm impact rate compensate for the low joules?
Partly, and only on small holes. Blows per minute and joules per blow multiply, so a fast light hammer does well on 6 mm anchors. But past about 12 mm the energy per blow is what breaks the aggregate, and no amount of speed substitutes for it.
Why does it cost the same as the 1500W model?
That is the question we could not answer. The RH150028 in the same range delivers 5.5 J and 32 mm in concrete at the same listed price. Unless you specifically want the smaller, lighter body, the more powerful tool is the better buy.
What is in the box?
Three SDS Plus drills and a spare set of carbon brushes. Note that despite the chipping gun billing on the listing, no chisels are included, so add those to the cost if you plan to use the chisel function.
