Drills

 Drills are a type of Hardmode tools and an alternative to pickaxes. On, they have shorter range than pickaxes, however they mine out blocks much faster. Note that these only account for their base use speed, and do not account for melee speed modifiers or the like.

The Drax is available pre-Hardmode, found in Shadow Chests.

There are currently different drills available in Terraria,  of which are Hardmode-exclusive.
