Mitsushi 12V 29-piece drill set review: the most kit per peso

The Mitsushi 12V double speed set is a 2-speed drill with an 18+1 clutch, two batteries, and 29 pieces in a case, for around ₱959. For a complete kit, that’s the lowest entry price in this category, and it’s why 7K+ units have moved.

Is a 2-speed gearbox real at this price?

It is, and it’s the most interesting thing here. Most drills under ₱1,500 are single speed. Two gears means a low range for torque, so screws seat without stalling, and a high range for speed, so holes in wood come out clean. Paired with an 18+1 clutch giving 18 torque steps plus a drill mode, you get more control than the price band usually allows.

Everything else is unstated. Mitsushi publishes no torque figure, no chuck size, and no rpm range for this kit. That’s the trade you’re making, and it’s a real one: you cannot compare this drill on paper against anything documented.

What’s in the case?

Twenty-nine pieces: the drill, two battery packs, a charger, twist bits, masonry bits, driver bits, a socket set, and a flexible extension shaft, in a moulded case. The second battery matters most, since one charges while the other works, and plenty of drills at twice this price ship with a single pack.

The masonry bits deserve a caution. There’s no stated hammer mode, so treat them as suitable for soft render and small anchors, not hollow block or concrete.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱959 as of July 31, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. On value alone, this is the strongest entry in the category: no other complete kit with two batteries and a 2-speed gearbox lands near it.

What you give up is certainty. Our Best Budget pick, the Lotus 12V at around ₱1,100, publishes its specs and states a 6-month warranty; you pay a little more for a drill you can verify. Mitsushi’s own 12V kit at around ₱1,800 gets you 2.0Ah batteries and a bubble level. This one wins on quantity, not on paperwork.

One practical warning: the listing title leads with “Li-ion Battery”, which reads like a spare pack rather than a drill kit. Check the photos and the variant before you order.

Who should buy it

Buy this if your budget is under ₱1,000 and you want a working kit rather than a bare tool: furniture assembly, curtain rails, flat-pack, and household screws. It’s the right first drill for a household that only needs one a few times a year. Anyone drilling walls regularly should spend more.

Alternatives to consider

If you’d rather buy specs than accessories, the Lotus LTDD12-30VLI 12V drill driver is our Best Budget pick at around ₱1,100 with a stated 6-month warranty. If you want bigger batteries and a sturdier build from the same brand, Mitsushi’s 12V lithium-ion cordless drill has two 2.0Ah packs and a built-in bubble level.
