OVERVIEW

Stop Slipping and Start Drilling with Walter SST+

Every welder knows the frustration of a drill bit spinning in the chuck just when you need to punch a hole through a piece of steel. The Walter 01A032A 1/2" SST+ Jobber Drill Bit solves this problem once and for all with its innovative Quick Shank design. This specialized shank has flats that lock into your drill's jaws, ensuring that when you pull the trigger, the bit turns—no matter how tough the material is. It’s the perfect upgrade for your cordless drill, ensuring you get every ounce of power delivered to the cutting tip.

Built for the demands of the welding and fabrication shop, this bit isn't your average hardware store consumable. It is made from a heavy-duty cobalt blend that resists the intense heat generated by metal drilling. This means the bit stays sharp longer, saving you money on replacements and time on sharpening. The bronze SST surface treatment adds another layer of protection, acting as a lubricant to reduce friction and keep the bit cool during operation. Whether you are drilling out a broken bolt or prepping a bracket for mounting, this bit handles the heat.

Accuracy is built right in with the Walter Speed Tip. You can say goodbye to your center punch because this bit centers itself the moment it touches the metal. It won't wander off your mark, even on round tubing or pipe. This makes it incredibly safe and easy to use, especially when you are in an awkward position or working overhead. The aggressive cutting action requires less pressure from you, reducing fatigue during long days in the shop.

Designed to tackle everything from mild steel to aluminum and non-ferrous metals, the Walter SST+ 1/2" bit is a workhorse. Its ability to drill through stacked materials without binding makes it ideal for body work and structural repairs. Add the Walter 01A032A to your toolbox and experience the difference that professional-grade tooling makes in your daily fabrication tasks.

FAQ

The Quick Shank features flat sides that lock into the drill chuck, preventing the bit from spinning or slipping under high torque, which is common with round shanks.

While the cobalt blend handles hard metals well, Walter recommends their specific SST+ bits or carbide tooling for extensive stainless steel drilling. However, this bit is excellent for mild steel, aluminum, and thin gauge metals.

No, the Walter SST+ bit features a self-centering 'Speed Tip' that prevents walking, allowing you to start drilling precisely where you want without a pilot hole or center punch.

Yes, it is specifically designed for cordless drills. The efficient cutting geometry and Quick Shank design minimize energy loss, helping to extend your battery life per charge.

This bit is made from a high-quality HSS (High-Speed Steel) with a cobalt blend, which provides superior heat resistance compared to standard HSS bits.

The bronze SST surface treatment acts as a lubricant to reduce friction between the bit and the workpiece, helping to keep the bit cooler and preventing binding.

The Walter 01A032A has a diameter of 1/2 inch.

Yes, the self-centering tip makes it ideal for drilling into round surfaces like pipes or tubing without the bit skating off.
