History
The definitive origin of the first hammer drill is a matter of discussion, although if you look at "hammer drills" and "rotary hammers" as separate categories, the origins are clear. Hilti had the first "electro-pneumatic" rotary hammer on the market in 1967 (the Hilti TE 17) and the Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation states that in 1935, it was selling a lightweight 1/4-inch electric hammer drill (cam-action) .

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
