8-Inch DTH Hammers

Drill King’s 8-inch DTH hammer lineup delivers high penetration rates with efficient air consumption for mid-size construction, mining, water well and other drilling applications. The standard design is made in three configurations — A800I , A800Q, and A800S. We also offer an exhaust-tube-free design, the T800UCQ. Both platforms are built for speed and reliability with the same premium alloys.

8 Inch DTH Air Hammer

Why Drill King?

Maximized Uptime

All Drill King hammers support field servicing through our repair and rebuild kits, so the hammer never leaves the jobsite.

Wide Pressure Range

The A800I runs as low as 50 PSI, giving operators flexibility across a broad range of compressor capacities while still reaching 350 PSI for maximum penetration.

High Rotation Torque

Up to 1,750 lb·Ft (2,373 N·m) of rotation torque drives large-diameter bits through demanding formations.

Blow-Tube-Free Design

The T800UC series eliminates the blow tube entirely, increasing reliability and boosting air volume for mining, water well, and construction work.

Open or Cased Hole

Customizable choke and bit configurations adapt the A800 to open hole or cased hole projects alike.

Extended Component Life

Premium alloys and wear-resistant surface treatments extend tool life and reduce operating cost on large-diameter tooling.
