Ergonomics and safety features also play a significant role. Modern rock drills come equipped with anti-vibration systems to protect the operator from the constant pounding inherent in drilling. Handles and controls should be designed for ease of use, reducing operator fatigue during extended periods of work. Safety mechanisms like overload protection and automatic shut-off switches are necessary to prevent accidents.

Performance metrics such as impact energy, rotation speed, and feed force are critical determinants of a drill’s efficacy. High-impact energy ensures that the tool can break through hard rock effectively, while a variable rotation speed allows operators to adapt to different drilling conditions. The feed force determines how much pressure the drill can apply to the rock face, affecting penetration rates and drill bit longevity.
