I really think there are more uses for the word "Drill" than a Radiohead album. This should probably be a disambiguation page rather than a redirect. -- Zoe

[edit] Drilling
Continued the rewrite and in the process split drilling material off to drilling, it was a redirect to here. — Graibeard 15:27, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Masonry Drill vs. Hammer Drill
Is a masonry drill different to a hammer drill? I'm not familiar with the term masonry drill - in Australia we would use the term Masonry Drill Bit or just Masonry Bit to describe the tungsten tipped bits - but the drill itself is a hammer drill or a rotary hammer drill depending on type. We have a link to hammer drill further down the page, so I'd like to put that link under masonry drill if they are the same thing. SilentC 22:45, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed. I've edited that section to suit (quicker than explaining here plus I had some woeful spuling errors :). Push and shove the remainder to suit. Thinking about what you've said, I think this page should have a small (stubbish) section on hammer drills as a type, with a {{main|hammer drill}} link to the page. — Graibeard 23:42, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
- I added a shortish bit on hammer drill with a link to the main article. Also changed roto-hammer drill to rotary hammer drill because I suspect that roto-hammer is a product name and rotary hammer is the generic term (mine is a Ramset Rotary Hammer Drill) by all means change back if I've got that wrong. I put roto-hammer in as an aka. SilentC 03:02, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Um, what is the difference between a [[hammer drill] and a roto-hammer drill? From the descriptions, they seem to be the same thing — namely, both rotate the drill bit while banging on it. Perhaps it is a marketing or geographic distinction? Jorge Stolfi 00:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- No, although they serve a similar function - rotating the drill while banging on it as you put it - they achieve this in quite different ways. SilentC 01:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
