What kind of mundane weapon would you consider the best candidate to reflavor into a drill? As in a big conical piercing drillbit?
First thing that comes to mind for me are picks. Perhaps a Heavy/Light Pick combo for TWF, or a 2h Pickaxe.
Well, actually first thing that came to mind was a lance, but there isn't, as far as I can tell, any form of Short Lance that could be effectively used without being mounted.
Mechanically the pickaxe pretty much is a lance, just trades the double damage on a mounted charge aspect for bigger crits.
Other things that sprang to mind were katars/punching daggers, shortswords, and shortspears, but I'm liking the high crit on the picks for that "drill straight through" aspect.

WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!?
I actually just really like the drill metaphors from that series.
Sorry, don't know that one.
Gurren Lagann.
It's an over the top awesome giant mecha series that (without giving too much away) uses the image of the drill as a metaphor for the human spirit.
Has a lot of great stirring lines like the above "We strive to be more than we were minutes before. With every turn, we advance a little further forwards. That's how a drill works!" and "If you become a wall in front of me, I'll drill through you to the other side!"
Gets a little slow in the middle when it tries to do some politics, but finds its way back to "This is the drill that will pierce the heavens" robot smashing pretty quickly.

Also plenty of Gainaxing.
There is no way in heaven, earth, nor hell to describe how inadequate the word "metaphor" is for describing how drills are used in that series.Mr. Bubbles?WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM?!?

Ahem.
Drills are also used as weapons.

Well its less overwhelming for the uninitiated than to say the drill becomes both the literal and figurative embodiment of not only the indomitable human spirit, but of the inexorable drive of all life to strive and overcome, the process of the past intertwining with the future as all hope and energy coalesce into a living godhood that spans all known reality.
Lol, that sounds so freaking deep for an anime about giant robots and girls with really bouncy boobies, but there it is.
But anyway, weapons that I can make into adamantine drills.
Also looking at the sword breaker for the Sunder bonus. Might just have to build one from scratch though.

Much like how Blitz Tactics Najica had an interesting exploration of what humanity and free will really mean, but all anybody ever sees is panties.
Fanservice can be like that.
