Answer :
In diamond, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 other carbon atoms through strong covalent bonds. These four atoms form four vertices of a regular tetrahedron which form a rigid structure and thus make it hard. Hence, it is used in rock drilling equipments but graphite is soft and hence not used in rock drilling equipments.
