The Giens then imported their first Compressed air drilling rig from America in 1964 and 1966 respectively.Peter Gien saw opportunity to adapt and market a Down the hole hammer for the South African Market and modified the first hammer in his workshop on their farm, thus P.G Drilling was born.After Peters untimely death, brothers, Barnd and Sakkie, continued drilling and manufacturing hammers to keep his legacy alive.In 1972, The MK1 was designed, patented and manufactured by Barn and Manny Gien Father, while Sakkie drilled and tested all new hammers. The MKII, Mamba, DB and many others soon followed.The Research and Development Department at PG Drilling, run by Barn are working on more innovative projects like horizontal hammers, tubeless hammers, rock drills and other associated drilling equipment.
