{{procontable | pro=

- Unlike any other drilling method percussion can remove boulders and break harder formations, effectively and quickly through most types of earth. <br>

- Percussion drilling can in principle deal with most ground conditions.<br>

- Can drill hundreds of feet (one well hand-drilled in China in 1923 was over 4000 feet deep). <br>

- Can drill further into the water table than dug wells, even drilling past one water table to reach another. <br>

| con= - The equipment can be very heavy and relatively expensive. <br>

- Especially in harder rock the method is slow (weeks, rather than days). <br>
