History

Drilling has been around since ancient times. People made holes in wood and stone using rudimentary instruments such as sticks and stones. The bow drill was developed around 3000 BC in Egypt and Mesopotamia. It represented a significant advancement in drilling. It worked by weaving a rope around a stick, making it easier to drill holes.

People improved their drilling instruments and techniques over time.
