KEELAT KCD011 impact drill review: light, brushless, and honest about it

The KEELAT KCD011 is a 45Nm brushless 20V impact drill that weighs 0.92kg without its battery, sold as a large kit with two batteries, a charger, bits, sockets, a flexible shaft and a case for around ₱1,700. It’s one of the better-balanced drills in this category, as long as you accept the 10mm chuck.

What can 45Nm do?

Comfortably: flat-pack furniture, shelf brackets, long wood screws, hinge cups, and pilot holes in metal. 45Nm sits in the middle of our roundup, well above the 16-25Nm entry drills and well below the 66Nm INGCO units. For the work most Pinoy homes actually generate, the middle is the right place to be.

It has a hammer mode, so small anchors in hollow block are possible. But the 10mm metal chuck is the ceiling: it won’t take the bigger masonry bits, so anything structural is off the table. At least the chuck is metal, which grips better and lasts longer than the plastic chucks common at this price.

The single 0-1,800 rpm range is the other compromise. There’s no 2-speed gearbox, so you can’t shift to a high gear for fast, clean holes in wood.

Is it comfortable?

This is where it wins. 0.92kg bare is very light for a 20V tool, and it shows on ceilings, inside cabinets, and after the twentieth screw. Add the battery level display and the LED work light and it’s a drill designed by someone who has actually used one up a ladder.

The kit is generous too: two batteries, a charger, drill and driver bits, sockets, a flexible shaft for corners, and a case to keep it together.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱1,700 as of July 31, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. For a brushless motor, a metal chuck, two batteries and a full accessory kit, that is good value, and the 6K+ units moved suggest plenty of buyers agree.

The reservation is the same one that applies to every Shopee-first brand here. KEELAT publishes no data sheet, so the 45Nm is a listing claim rather than a tested figure, and there’s no Philippine service center to visit if the motor fails in year two. INGCO asks a little more and gives you documented specs and dealer support. That’s the trade.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want a light, brushless drill with everything in one case and your work is furniture, shelves, and the occasional small wall anchor. It’s a strong first drill for someone who doesn’t want to think about accessories. If real masonry is the reason you’re shopping, size up. See how it ranks in our best cordless drills in the Philippines roundup, or browse more on our Home Improvement page. Our cordless drill buying guide explains why chuck size caps what a hammer mode can do.

Alternatives to consider

If you want a bigger chuck for real wall work, the KEELAT KCD012 20V brushless drill is our Best for Concrete pick with a 13mm chuck at around ₱2,000. If published specs and PH dealer support matter more than the accessory kit, the INGCO 20V 55Nm brushless drill is our Best Overall.
