Among the last items to be tested are a scoop on the end of the rover's robot arm and an impact drill.

Drill holes with recommended impact drill equipment to the diameters specified.

Curiosity is equipped with an impact drill designed to bore into rocks to collect powdered samples for detailed chemical analysis.

Crews with small front-end loaders, jackhammers and impact drills attack concrete, separated only by a construction wall from Pentagon employees.

Aimed mainly at the professional market, these new drills will be of interest to the d-i-yer who has a particular need for a powerful cordless impact drill.

From rotary only drills to impact drills and screwdrivers, all Hitachi products are designed and manufactured to the highest standards.

With the scoop tests complete, Curiosity will continue on to Glenelg where its impact drill will be put to the test for the first time, probably sometime in November.

Looking to put more punch into cordless drills, Luna Tools and Machinery Ltd is introducing two new Torque Force impact drills from Ryobi, the TFI-180i and the TFI-230i.

The Curiosity rover's powerful impact drill has successfully collected its first subsurface Mars sample, about a tablespoon of powdered rock that will be fed into the spacecraft's on-board laboratory instruments for detailed chemical analysis, project officials said Wednesday.

Exploring the rocky floor of Gale Crater near its landing site, Curiosity used its impact drill for the first time earlier this year, boring into fine-grain mudstone in an area known as Yellowknife Bay where water once flowed and percolated.

Using a high-tech impact drill and a suite of compact but sophisticated laboratory instruments to study collected samples, the rover met its primary mission objective eight months into its mission, confirming a once-habitable past in a region where ancient stream beds show water once flowed freely.

In terms of building materials, the best prospects exist in areas such as kitchen cabinets, pre-hung doors, drywall supplies and ceramic tiles, and the small consumer tools required for this type of work, such as impact drills, screwdrivers, cordless tools and wrench sets.

The men were running impact drills, two-on-ones and three-on-twos, when a distinguished elder named Charilaus, who had been an ephor and a priest of Apollo but now functioned primarily as a senior counselor and emissary, appeared on the crest of the bank and spoke aside to the polemarch Derkylides, the regimental commander.
