In 1896 J. George Leyner invented the hammer drill, also known as the jackhammer. In 1902 construction company Ingersoll Rand utilized Leyner's hammer drill design to create the first portable compressor line of hammer drills. The construction workers who built the Panama Canal and Mount Rushmore used these portable compressor drills.

∙ 11y agoRichard Dudgeon, Inc. was founded in New York City as a machine shop. In 1851, founder and inventor Richard Dudgeon was granted a patent for a "portable hydraulic press" - the hydraulic jack, a jack which proved to be vastly superior to the screw jacks in use at the time. In 1855, Richard Dudgeon astounded New Yorkers by driving from his home to his place of business in an innovative steam carriage. The noise and vibration generated by the "Red Devil Steamer" frightened horses so badly that city authorities confined it to one street. Although the inventor claimed the carriage could carry 10 people at 14 m.p.h. on one barrel of anthracite coal, it was too far ahead of its time and failed to gain popular favor. Other inventions attributed to Dudgeon include: roller boiler tube expanders, pulling jacks, filter press jacks, steam forging hammers, railroad lifting equipment, heavy plate hydraulic hole punches, and many types and sizes of lifting jacks.

How does the jackhammer work?
The jackhammer is started by pushing on the handle. The inside of a jackhammer includes: a circuit of tubes, a heavy piledriver, and a drill bit at the bottom. Once the jackhammer has started air enters the jackhammer from a compressor which then passes it on to a valve on one side of the jackhammer. The pressurized air flows throughout the circuit inside of the jackhammer. A valve inside the jackhammer then closes changing the direction of the air. forcing the piledriver to rise and the drill bit to follow. In a short time the valve opens again pounding the piledriver into the drill bit and into the ground.
