Ingco RH1700558 Rotary Hammer Drill 1700W SDS Max

Our review

This is a corded rotary hammer from Ingco built around an SDS Max chuck, which points to heavier drilling and chiselling work than the smaller SDS Plus tools most DIYers own. The 1700W motor is paired with constant electronics, so the tool aims to hold its speed as load increases rather than bogging down in dense concrete. Variable speed control lets you start slower for positioning and speed up once the bit bites, and the chisel-locking system is there to make swapping between drill bits and chisels quicker. A double anti-vibration system is included to reduce fatigue during longer sessions, and there are indicators for power supply and carbon brush wear, which is useful because brushes are a normal service item on this class of tool. It suits contractors, masons and serious renovators who regularly break concrete, chase walls or remove tiles. Before buying, check which bit sizes and chisel types you need, since SDS Max tooling is larger and more expensive than SDS Plus, and confirm the machine's weight and handle layout feel manageable for overhead or vertical work. Compare it with other SDS Max hammers on motor class, vibration control and whether spare brushes and parts are easy to source locally. If your work is mostly light masonry, a smaller SDS Plus drill may be cheaper and easier to handle.
