Most extractions are done without drilling. That's really only necessary when the tooth needs to be sectioned, or if there is a bony impaction. Usually a bit of movement with forceps or elevators is all that's required. But yeah, sectioning a tooth with chisels sounds pretty bad. I think I would try to avoid that situation.
