A directional impactor comprises a body in which a tool, a striker, a rod and a chamber with a working fluid are arranged in series, which has a cover with an opening for supplying the working fluid to the chamber. The tool and striker have radial openings, the two-stage rod has a conical transition surface, and the tool and striker connection assembly comprises at least two balls, one of which is located closer to the longitudinal axis of symmetry in the tool opening and the other is located further away from this axis partially in the tool opening and partially in the striker opening. The balls form a detachable connection with the possibility of displacement in the extreme position of the tool due to the impact of the conical surface of the rod. The chamber with the working fluid is formed by the walls of the body, striker and cover. The hole for supplying the working fluid is located in the lid and is closed with a stopper. Compressed gas is used as a working fluid.
