pneumatic drills
Compressed air hammers
Pneumatic drills are power tools driven by compressed air, used to break up hard surfaces like concrete, asphalt, and rock.
The air pressure drives a piston that delivers rapid, powerful blows.
Construction workers use them for road repair and demolition.
The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say jackhammer.
