ingco_spirir_water_leveller

I bought a smaller spirit water level from Ingco yesterday. This spirit level is smaller than the previous Ingco spirit level I bought some time back. The reason I bought this is because I wanted a spirit level that would fit my toolkit. I bought this for about $3 and it is not too bad. Next on my list are some VDE pliers and I will be set.

Ingco 30 piece screwdriver bit set

09/02/2022 Leave a comment

I bought this 30 piece screwdriver set to complement the other set of Inco impact bits to use with my impact driver. This set has more bits especially the torx heads that I need when I disassemble some things. I bought the previous set and this together and got quite a substantial amount in savings. I just checked online and the online shop I bought it from now says that it is out of stock. Unlike the impact bits, I do not think these are hardened to take extreme punishment. But for general screwing and unscrewing of screws, this should do the job. I am to have a pretty well-stocked tool set and the purchase of these two sets will have me on my way.

Ingco 30pcs 25mm Impact Screwdriver Bits Set

ingco_impact_allen_bits

I bought this Ingco 30pcs 25mm Impact Screwdriver Bits Set because I noticed that I do not have any Allen bolts when it comes to DIY furniture assembly. When I moved into my new house, many of our things were bought online like my desk, dining room table, furniture and some other things. Most of them included an Allen key for assembly. I was thinking to myself: I have one helluva good impact drill and I cannot use it because I do not have the necessary bits for it to assemble this furniture. So I went online and bought this. This is what the kit has:

  • PH1-2-2-2-3
  • SL3-4-5-6-7
  • PZ1-2-2-2-3
  • T10-15-20-25-27-30-40
  • H3-4-5-6
  • S1-2-3
  • 1pcs quick release bit holder
  • Plastic box

I am very happy with it because I got it for a pretty cheap price and this will really augment my toolbox.

Ingco Industrial 30cm spirit leveler

IngCo-Spirit-Level

I bought this Ingco spirit leveler online about a week back and it only just arrived at my place about two days ago. I have always said that Ingco makes good quality tools for a very cheap price. This spirit leveler will be very useful in my work when I mark stuff on walls for installs. Most of the time, I have to deal with and use whatever I find in the construction site whenever I do my measurement markings. Sometimes, the pieces of wood I find onsite are not straight. I have to rely on many markings from my measuring tape just to get a straight line. This will really help to make the marking faster and easier. It cost me less than $10. The only thing I wish it had were magnets though. A good buy nonetheless. All of us should have something like this in our arsenal of tools

ingco_9_piece_toolkit

My sister moved into her own house but I noticed that she does not have a toolkit around the house. So I thought that I would buy this for her…something useful for her to have around the house. This 9-piece toolkit, made by Ingco, seems perfect. This is what it has:

  • Philips screwdriver
  • Normal screwdriver
  • Screwdriver test pen (for testing electrical connections)
  • Spanner
  • Hammer
  • Snap-off blade knife
  • tape measure
  • Pliers
  • Needlenose pliers

All of these are nicely packed in a nice, zippered bag and will be very useful for her I feel. get one of these. I guarantee you will find this toolkit very useful indeed.

INGCO RGH6508 650 watt rotary hammer drill

ingco_rotary_hammer_RGH6508

I bought a Bosch rotary hammer drill that I am very happy with. It has really helped me in quite a few projects where its 800 watts of power had made the drilling of holes effortless. The Bosch was not cheap. It cost me about $370 but it was worth every cent of it. I made my money back on it after two projects, namely two clubs where I needed to install point-source speakers. Drilling through one of the granite walls in the club which was located in an old pre-war shophouse was easy. Also, I have used it in quite a few other places and this drill always served me well

However, there are many other players coming into the market now, offering the same thing for a much cheaper price. Take this Ingco RGH6508 650 watt rotary hammer drill. It has all the Bosch is able to offer and more with a price that is a fraction of the Bosch. This rotary hammer is probably targetted at the casual DIY-er that just needs an affordable rotary hammer drill for chores around the house. I do not know how reliable it is in the long run as I have not seen the insides of it. But for the price, it is a lot of drill for the money

I bought this set of 6 magnetic nut set at a hardware store a week ago. It was pretty affordable too. Ingco makes some great tools at a pretty affordable price. This will be a great addition to my tool arsenal that I can use with my Bosch cordless drill. This will be very useful for bolts for partition walls.

Ingco impact screwdriver bit

ingco_impact_screwdriver_bit

About a week back, when I was at a hardware shop, I came across these impact screwdriver bits made by a company named Ingco. This set of ten hardened impact screwdriver bits are just what I required for my Bosch electric drill. What I had been using previously was a screwdriver bit that came off a a Stanley reversible screwdriver that was spoilt. However, that screwdriver bit is not hardened like this one and the bit will get rounded off after a while. These industrial screwdriver bits from Ingco have been made for impact drivers and will last longer than the one I am currently using. It comes in a box of ten and I think they will last for some time. And the cost? About $14.

Akaido AK12EC cordless drill

A few days back, I saw one of the workmen at a client’s place working with this cordless screwdriver, made by a company named Akaido. It looked totally different to the Makita and Bosch ones that I see in many different worksites so I got quite curious about it. Apparently, it is made for the Malaysian market and is relatively inexpensive. It reminds me a bit of the Ingco brand that is being used here. For the approximate price of RM115, you get 1 x AKAIDO 12v Cordless Drill, 3 x 12v 2.0ah Li-ion Batteries, 1 x Charger, and 1 x Case. That was a cut-and-paste from one of the sites in Malaysia selling it. The specs of this drill are:

  • Model : AK12EC
  • Unit Weight : 1.1 kg
  • Battery Voltage : 12V
  • Load Speed 1st Gear : 0-400 r/min
  • Load Speed 2nd Gear : 0-1500 r/min
  • Chuck Diameter : 3/8″ (1-10 mm)
  • Maximum Torque : 25 n.m
  • Torque : 19+1
  • Battery Capacity : 2.0mah
  • Charging Time : 2h
  • Warranty : 6 months

I would have expected the warranty to last at least a year but I think this tool does not last that long, given the relatively inexpensive price tag it has. But however, I saw the workers using it having no isues with it and it seemed to be functioning well. I think this is worth a look if you are just a DIYer and want to get a cordless drill for a good price.
