How do you get the crank bolt off without power tools?

You loosen it with a long 'breaker bar', without power tools I don't know of any other way.

If you have clearance and parts like the radiator and shroud out of the way, you can position the breaker bar on the bolt with the breaker bar laying over on the drivers side up against the frame then with the coil wire removed jog the engine over with the key and the bolt will break loose. I've done this in a pinch.

What is the difference between a hammer drill and a percussion drill?

"Hammer drill" and "percussion drill" are different names for the same tool.

In addition to the rotary drilling motion, they use a pair of cam plates to create high frequency in and out motion of the chuck. This helps when drilling brittle materials like masonry, stone, etc.

Rotary hammers do a similar motion, but instead of cam plates, they use a pneumatic hammer mechanism which is much lower in frequency but with much more power and stroke.

Impact drills are quite different:

They have a mechanism which takes effect at high torque loads which makes the rotation "stutter". There is no in and out motion of the chuck. The effect is somewhat similar to an impact wrench.

What is the difference between line drilling and presplitting drilling?

  1. Pre-splitting holes are charged, whereas line-drilling holes are not.
    • Pre-splitting holes contain less explosive than the rest of the holes in the blast area.
    • The blast holes directly adjacent to the line-drilling holes are charged to about 50% of that of the rest of the blast area.
  2. The diameter of the holes in pre-splitting tend to be much larger than those in line-drilling.
    • Pre-splitting holes diameter ranges from 50mm - 100mm for civil engineering purposes while larger holes are used (some larger than 300 mm) for mining.
    • Line-drilling holes usually have a diameter less than 75mm.
    • Pre-splitting spacing is about 10-20 times the hole diameter.
    • Line-drilling holes are spaced about 2-4 times the diameter of the hole.
  3. The holes in line-drilling are spaced much closer together than those of pre-splitting.
