What is a drill?

What is a Hammer Drill?
It’s powerful tool which works by producing a quick series of blows. This equipment is used in masonry works for drilling stone, concrete, brick or any hard substance. Hammer drills are available in the market as corded or cordless. The first hammer drill was produced by German company Fein and it was patented in 1914. German company Bosch produced the first "Bosch-Hammer" around 1932 in mass production.
How does it work?
The hammer drill works by rotating the hammer in a circular motion which allows you to drill a hole or remove any hard substances. Hammer drill has a piston that is attached which helps to provide more power. In the hammer drill, the lower uneven edge is fixed and the upper portion rotates with the shaft. The two plates in the shaft slide against each other when the shaft rotates.
The uneven edges cause the upper portion to produce potential energy. And as the shaft slide further, the energy is released and the shaft is moved down. This helps the drill to penetrate into the heavy materials whether it is wood, concrete or metal.
