The weight of the hand-held rock drill is relatively light, generally below 25kg, and it is operated by hand when working. A variety of small diameter and shallow holes can be drilled, generally only down holes and near-horizontal holes. Because it relies on manual operation, high labor intensity, small impact energy and torque, and slow rock drilling speed, it is rarely used in underground mines now. Rock drills belonging to this category include models such as Y3 and Y26.
