Why Drill King?

The HADK-W40I brings fluid-driven drilling to the compact end of the Drill King lineup — a genuinely different technology from conventional air hammers, built around straighter holes and lower energy consumption.

Straighter Holes

The W40I will drill a straighter hole than a conventional air hammer, reducing hole deviation on demanding projects.

Hi-Frequency Design

At 3,870 blows per minute — the highest impact frequency in the water hammer lineup — the W40I delivers environmentally friendly drilling for fastest penetration rates.

Lower Operating Costs

Reduced energy consumption versus conventional air hammers means lower operating costs over the life of the tool.

Simple ECO Service Kits

Low-maintenance ECO kits are designed for self-service schedules, keeping the hammer field-serviceable without specialized tooling.

Configurable Wear Sleeve

Choose a smooth wear sleeve or one with integrated stabilizing ribs to minimize hole deviation for your application.

Open or Cased Hole

Customizable to optimize performance in open hole or cased hole projects alike.
