Wadfow WRH1D26-2 rotary hammer review: best value

The Wadfow WRH1D26-2 is our Best Value rotary hammer: 2.5 J and 26 mm in concrete for around ₱3,900, matching tools that cost more and adding a keyless chuck they do not include.

How much hammer is it?

800 W, 2.5 J, 0-1100 rpm, 0-4000 bpm, drilling to 26 mm in concrete, 13 mm in steel, and 30 mm in wood.

Those numbers are identical to the class leader, and they are the right numbers for a house. At 2.5 J a 12 mm anchor hole in slab concrete is a matter of seconds. Aircon brackets, water heaters, TV mounts, and grille anchors are all comfortably inside its range.

The ceiling is the same too: 26 mm in concrete rules out rebar dowels and the 32 mm holes that renovation work sometimes needs.

The second chuck is the real feature

Every rotary hammer takes SDS Plus bits, whose grooved shanks will not fit an ordinary chuck. That is fine until you want to drill a pilot hole in timber and discover the tool cannot hold a normal bit.

Wadfow ships a keyless quick-change chuck in the box. Fit it, and the WRH1D26-2 takes standard round-shank bits at 1100 rpm, which is fast enough to work properly as a drill. For a household that owns one power tool, that is a genuine change in what the tool can do, not a marketing bullet.

It is not free: swapping chucks on a job that alternates between concrete and timber costs time. But having the option beats not having it.

Is it sulit?

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

This is the strongest price-to-capability ratio in the category. You get the class-standard 2.5 J and 26 mm, three modes, 3 drill bits, 2 chisels, a carrying case, and the second chuck, for less than tools offering the first two things alone.

The trade is support depth. Wadfow publishes a full data sheet, which is more than several rivals manage, but its Philippine dealer and spare-parts network is thinner than INGCO’s. On a brushed motor, brushes eventually need replacing, and that is where a deeper network earns its premium.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want the most capability per peso and you like the idea of one tool that drills concrete and timber. It is the sensible first rotary hammer.

Alternatives to consider

The INGCO RGH9028 matches it spec for spec and adds spare carbon brushes and a deeper local parts network, if you would rather pay a little more for support. If you need more hammer than 2.5 J, the Tolsen 88531 reaches 5.5 J and 32 mm in concrete.
