The Pickaxe Axe is a Hardmode pickaxe and axe combination which can be crafted after all mechanical bosses have been defeated. It is able to mine any block other than Lihzahrd Bricks.

The Pickaxe Axe is an alternative to the Drax, having a slower mining speed but longer range and benefiting from mining speed bonuses.

Its best modifier is Legendary. While Light may seem to provide a better speed boost by percentages, rounding reveals that Legendary and Light mine at equal speeds for this tool.

Trivia

• The Pickaxe Axe is a Hallowed-related item. However, unlike other Hallowed items, it does not emit light when swung.
• The tooltip references a "Hamdrill", which is a non-existent item. However, it may be referring to the old name of the Drax, which was called a "Hamdrax" until patch 1.2. It also retains the appearance of a drill, hence the "drill" appended on to "ham".
