BUYING GUIDE
How to Select Hand-Held Pneumatic Rock Drills
Hand-held pneumatic rock drills are compressed-air percussion tools that the operator controls directly for portable drilling work. This collection compares PerfoMax’s current Y19A and Y24 reference configurations for mining, quarrying, construction and other rock-drilling tasks. Use it when you need to produce holes and can safely manage the tool by hand. If the job requires sustained supported feed, move to an air-leg rock drill. If the task is breaking or chipping rather than drilling a defined hole, compare pneumatic picks instead.
Choose the tool type before the model
| Your main task | Start here | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Portable downward or inclined hole drilling | Y19A or Y24 on this page | Both are current hand-held pneumatic drilling references; select by hole, air supply, weight and exact job conditions. |
| Sustained horizontal or inclined drilling with support and feed | Air-Leg Rock Drills | An air-leg system supports the drill and provides controlled feed; do not force a hand-held choice into this task. |
| Breaking, chipping or demolition rather than drilling a defined hole | Pneumatic Picks | The output task is material removal, not a drill hole for blasting, anchoring or other drilling work. |
Y19A and Y24 comparison
These are preliminary selection references from the current product pages. The final quotation and attached supplier data sheet control the delivered machine.
| Field | Y19A | Y24 | What the buyer should check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 19 kg | 24 kg | Handling method, operator exposure and whether supported feed is more appropriate |
| Length | 600 mm | 604 mm | Working space and drilling direction |
| Shank reference | H22 × 108 mm | H22 × 108 mm | Steel length, bit connection and diameter; the shank alone does not define the drill string |
| Drilling diameter | 34–40 mm | 34–42 mm | Required hole diameter, depth, rock and bit selection |
| Working-air reference | 4–5 bar; ≤43 L/s at 5 bar | 0.4–0.63 MPa; ≤55 L/s supply reference | Delivered pressure and airflow at the drill, not compressor nameplate values alone |
| Air-hose reference | 19 mm minimum inside diameter | 19 mm inside diameter | Actual hose length, couplings and pressure loss |
When to start with Y19A
Use the Y19A product page as the first screening point when the job fits a 34–40 mm reference range, downward or inclined hand-held drilling, and the site can deliver the documented 4–5 bar and airflow requirement at the drill. Its current 19 kg reference is lower than the Y24 reference, but safe handling still requires two-hand control, the supplied operating instructions, suitable PPE and jobsite dust control.
When to start with Y24
Use the Y24 product page when the requirement fits its current 34–42 mm, H22 × 108 mm and 0.4–0.63 MPa supply references. Confirm that the compressor, hose and connections can meet the final airflow requirement. Y24 is a hand-held model in the current registry; it is not the same procurement identity as the YT24 air-leg family.
Air, tooling and operating checks
- Pressure and flow: provide the available pressure and airflow, where they were measured, the number of tools running together and the compressor’s delivered-air basis.
- Hose: confirm inside diameter, total length, couplings and any branches or restrictions. Verify dynamic pressure at the tool inlet during operation.
- Drill steel and bit: confirm H22 × 108 where applicable, steel length, bit connection, target diameter and rock conditions.
- Dry or wet drilling: state the method and water arrangement. For the Y19A reference, water pressure should remain at least 1 bar below air pressure to reduce water entry into the impact mechanism.
- Lubrication: confirm the line lubricator, oil requirement and whether it is included in the requested supply scope.
- Handling: hand-held does not mean single-hand use. Do not promote unsupported overhead operation; follow the supplied manual and site risk assessment.
What to send for a matched quotation
- Application and whether the task is drilling or breaking/chipping.
- Rock condition if known, drilling direction, target hole diameter and depth.
- Required drill-steel length and bit connection.
- Available pressure and airflow at the work area, hose inside diameter and hose length.
- Dry or wet drilling, water arrangement and lubricator requirement.
- Hand-held use or a supported/pusher-leg requirement.
- Quantity, accessories, spare-parts scope and inspection requirements.
- Destination, packing requirements and requested delivery window.
Send your hand-held rock drill requirement for review. PerfoMax will confirm whether Y19A, Y24, an air-leg rock drill or a pneumatic pick is the appropriate starting point.
Frequently asked questions
Is Y24 the same as YT24?
No. The current PerfoMax registry treats Y24 as a hand-held pneumatic rock drill and YT24 as an air-leg family that still requires YT24C or TY24 identification. Do not substitute one by similar name.
Which is lighter, Y19A or Y24?
The current reference weights are 19 kg for Y19A and 24 kg for Y24. Weight is only one selection field; drilling direction, hole size, air supply and safe handling still control the decision.
Are the drill steel and bit included?
Not by assumption. The quotation should separately list the drill body, drill steel, bit, hose, couplings, lubricator and spare parts.
Can a small compressor run either drill?
Only if it can deliver the required pressure and airflow at the drill after hose, coupling and distribution losses. Send delivered-air data, hose size and length rather than the compressor power rating alone.
When should I choose an air-leg rock drill instead?
Consider an air-leg system when sustained horizontal or inclined drilling needs support and controlled feed, or when manual handling is not appropriate for the task. Review the job and site risk assessment rather than switching only by model name.
