Built for concrete work without the cord drag
This Gisam rotary hammer solves a familiar jobsite problem: you need enough impact to open concrete or tile, but you do not want to drag a mains cable through a renovation area. The 18V battery format makes it easier to move between rooms, scaffolds, and tight corners, which is exactly where cordless tools earn their keep.
With a brushless motor, the tool is designed to waste less energy as heat and deliver steadier output under load. That matters when a drill starts biting into dense material, because the cut feels more controlled instead of bogging down mid-hole.
26mm drilling capacity: what that means on site
The headline 26mm drilling diameter places this model in the practical zone for anchors, service runs, and light structural fixing. It is not meant to replace a heavy demolition breaker, but it does cover the kind of repetitive work that renovation teams face every day.
Users report that it drills concrete effectively and handles tiles well, which suggests the hammer action is tuned more for utility than brute force. That balance is useful if you want one tool that can move from bathroom tile removal to masonry fixings without feeling over-specialised.
4800 impacts per minute and 3500 rpm in real use
The 4800ipm impact rate and 3500rpm no-load speed point to a fast, lively tool rather than a slow, torque-heavy one. In practice, that should help when starting holes cleanly and keeping progress consistent in mixed materials, especially when the bit is doing the work rather than the operator pushing harder.
Compared with a corded rotary hammer, cordless units like this one usually feel a little less aggressive, and some customers noticed lower rotation and impact than a 230V drill. That trade-off is normal in the battery category, so the real question is whether the portability offsets the slight drop in raw punch.
What the 5kg body tells you about handling
At 5kg, this is not a featherweight drill, and the mass is part of why it can stay planted against hard material. The upside is a more stable feel on vertical concrete, while the downside is that overhead work and long sessions will ask more from your arms and shoulders.
For renovation crews, that weight can still be acceptable if the tool is used for short, focused bursts rather than all-day overhead drilling. The sound and vibration reported by some users suggest a typical hammer-drill character, so gloves and a firm grip will make a noticeable difference.
Makita 18V battery compatibility: the practical advantage
This model is built around Makita 18V battery compatibility, which is the main reason many AliExpress buyers look twice at it. If your site already runs that battery ecosystem, you can get a tool that slots into existing charging habits and reduces the need for separate power management.
That compatibility is especially useful for teams that rotate tools across jobs, because it cuts downtime between tasks. The battery is included here, so the first setup is simpler than with bare-tool listings, and that is a meaningful convenience for smaller crews.
What customers seem to value most
Across the available feedback, customers repeatedly mention that the drill works as described, arrives quickly, and handles concrete without obvious trouble. The strongest pattern is not luxury finishing; it is usable performance for small to medium renovation work, which is often what matters most in this category.
The few reservations focus on long-term durability and the lack of a case in some deliveries, so this is best viewed as a work-ready cordless hammer rather than a premium workshop centerpiece. If you want a clearer picture of where it fits in a tool kit, the next point is the most important one.
Where it fits better than a standard impact drill
A regular impact drill is fine for lighter masonry, but a rotary hammer like this one is better suited to concrete and tile because the hammering action is more direct. That makes this Gisam a stronger choice when the material itself is the obstacle, not just the hole size.
