A pneumatic drill is a tool that uses compressed air to create powerful drilling action. It is commonly used in construction and mining to break up hard materials like concrete and rock. The drill operates by converting air pressure into mechanical energy, allowing it to penetrate tough surfaces efficiently. These drills are often preferred for their high power-to-weight ratio, making them easier to handle than electric drills. They are typically connected to an air compressor, which supplies the necessary air pressure. Pneumatic drills are essential for tasks that require heavy-duty drilling and demolition work in various industries, including construction and mining.
