The Palladium Drill is a Hardmode drill, and is the drill alternative to the Palladium Pickaxe. Appearances and sounds aside, the two tools are nearly functionally identical. The drill, however is half a second faster. But, unlike pickaxes, most drills cannot be reforged with size, speed, or knockback modifiers.
The Palladium Drill can mine any block with the exception of Adamantite Ore, Titanium Ore, Chlorophyte Ore, and Lihzahrd Bricks. It is capable of mining Adamantite Ore and Titanium Ore on the Nintendo 
version.
Its best modifier is Godly or Demonic. Both modifiers increase the average damage output by the same amount.
Its best modifier is Demonic, as it does not have any knockback and thus cannot get modifiers that affect it, and furthermore cannot get modifiers that affect its speed, either.
