On the , the Drax can be found in Shadow Chests in The Underworld, making it available prior to Hardmode. The Drax also used to be available prior to Hardmode In the .
The counterpart of the Drax is the Pickaxe Axe, which is slightly slower than the Drax but does not have a -1 range penalty.

* Due to its rapid attack speed, high damage and low knockback, it can serve as a melee weapon for low-end close-range targets.
* Finding the Drax in a Shadow Chest will give the player a significant mining advantage, as it can mine all pre-Plantera blocks, at which point the Picksaw is needed. It makes killing the mechanical bosses much easier, as the player will have access to Chlorophyte gear and Turtle armor.
== Trivia ==
* The tool is named "Drax", a combination of the words "drill" and "axe", because it can perform the actions of both.
* It was originally called the "Hamdrax", a portmanteau of the words "hammer", "drill", and "axe" and had 85% hammer power in addition to its current abilities. Its hammer ability was removed in 1.2 when hammers were given the ability to create slopes and half-blocks, which would conflict with the Drax's mining functionality. In addition, players often complained that they would accidentally remove background walls when building using the Hamdrax.
** The projectile created by the drill is still named "Hamdrax", which can be seen in death messages when killing another player with it in PvP.
** Currently, only the summoned mount has all three abilities.
* The original tooltip was "Not to be confused with a hamsaw", although a hamsaw (presumably a portmanteau of the words "hammer" and "chainsaw") was never added to the game. The Picksaw and the updated tooltip were added in 1.2.
** Although hamsaws do not exist in Terraria, there are tools called hamaxes. When it was called the "Hamdrax", the Drax functioned as a hamaxe in addition to its pickaxe functionality (and still has the axe functionality).
* Unlike most drills, the Drax has a minimal amount of knockback.
