The air hammer drives nails by using a cylinder powered by compressed air. The nails are typically fed in as a connected flat block of them in parallel. They have almost entirely replaced manual hammers in professional wood housing construction, due to being nearly 10 times faster to operate. There is also an electric version.

A pneumatic drill or jackhammer is a portable percussive-drill, operated by compressed air and used to drill rock, break up pavement, etc. It works in the manner of a hammer and chisel, by jabbing with its bit, not by rotating it.
The portable pneumaticjackhammer is impractical for use on walls and steep slopes as it relies on the inertia of the mass of its body to impel the bit into the work and manipulating that mass when it is not supported by the work is highly difficult.
While the term jackhammer is occasionally used to mean pneumatic drill, the electro-mechanical tool that performs the same function is normally the one given the jackhammer name in Britain.
