The DTH hammer operates through a system of compressed air. High-pressure air is directed down the drill string, powering the hammer at the end of the drill bit. The hammer strikes the bit with considerable force, fracturing the rock immediately beneath it. As the bit penetrates further, the broken rock is then cleared from the hole by the same air stream, allowing for continuous drilling without the interruptions often associated with other drilling methods.

- Metalworking In metalworking, tools often require heavy-duty performance combined with finesse. A fractional head hammer can help in shaping metal sheets while providing the strength needed to drive rivets or other fasteners. Its ability to control the impact makes it an essential tool in fabricating metal constructs.

4. Renewable Energy Projects With the rise of offshore wind energy, submarine hammer drilling is increasingly used to install the foundations for wind turbines. The ability to achieve deep penetration in various seabed conditions makes this method invaluable in the renewable energy sector.

The term fractional head hammer refers to a particular design of a hammer where the head is divided into sections or fractions, each serving a specific purpose. This design enables the user to deliver precise strikes while minimizing error and enhancing overall effectiveness. The fractional head can vary in shape and size, catering to different tasks, such as nailing, driving, or shaping materials.
