The Palladium Drill is a Hardmode drill. It is the alternative to the Palladium Pickaxe, having a faster mining speed but shorter range and lacking the ability to benefit from mining speed bonuses. It can mine blocks up to Mythril and Orichalcum Ore.

Its alternate ore counterpart is the Cobalt Drill. The Palladium Drill has slightly more pickaxe power and damage.

Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount. However, Ruthless might be preferred if the player already has very high critical strike chance.
