Abstract: A drilling device including a hydraulically actuated drive for exerting an oscillatory action on the drive including the drive element, inserting device for hoses conducting a working medium to a pressure-actuated hammer mounted on a front end of the rod and the flushing head at an oscillation angle ranging between 180.degree.-360.degree.. The flushing head is fixed oscilatorily with the drive member and both are swingable about a swivelling axis out of an alignment with the slide and the drive member is formed with a recess for selectively attaching a respective plug-in rod end of the drill rod, so that a torque produced by the drive is transmitted to the drill rod by the drive unit upon interlocking of the flushing head and rod.
