tool
A tool kit.
It has hammer action, which I assume is what you mean.
The hammer function makes the tool make hits (like a hammer) without rotating. The impact drill means it will make hits and rotate at the same time. Usually you would use a masonry drill bit withe the impact drill function and a chisel for the hammer function.
The hammer and chisel were the first instruments to be replaced by pneumatically-powered cutting devices.
Hammer or mallet
Just as you said....drill the centers out of them. If you are talking about the large rivets that hold ball joints in....that's another story. It's easier to use an air chisel or grinder on them and carefully grind the heads off without cutting up the control arm. Then punch them through. If you don't have an air grinder a GOOD metal chisel and big hammer will do it....probably faster than the drill.
Reference books, a hammer, a chisel, and a collection bag, preferrably with sealable plastic baggies and a marking pen. Lots of water, too.
