Walter 1/2 Inch SST Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit with Quick Shank

Drill More, Charge Less with Walter SST

For welders and fabricators who rely on their cordless tools to get the job done, the Walter 1/2" SST Jobber Drill Bit (01A032) is a game-changer. We know that nothing kills productivity faster than a dead battery or a drill bit that spins in the chuck. Walter has solved both problems with this premium drill bit. The exclusive Quick Shank design ensures a rock-solid grip in your drill's chuck, preventing the bit from slipping under load. This means all the power from your drill goes directly into the cut, not wasted on friction. Plus, the advanced cutting geometry is so efficient that it actually extends your cordless drill's battery life, allowing you to complete more holes per charge.

Durability is key in the welding shop, and the SST bit delivers. Made from a robust cobalt blend, this bit resists the high heat generated when drilling through mild steel and aluminum. The "tried and true" original design features a heavy-duty fully ground body that stands up to daily abuse. The bronze SST surface treatment isn't just for looks; it helps lubricate the cut and clear chips out of the hole faster, keeping the bit cool and sharp. Whether you are drilling out spot welds, prepping material for a joint, or installing hardware, this bit maintains its edge hole after hole.

Precision is automatic with the Walter SST. The self-centering Speed Tip bites into the metal instantly, so you don't have to waste time hunting for a center punch or worrying about the bit "walking" across your workpiece. This is especially helpful when drilling into round stock or pipe. It is also specifically designed to handle thin gauge metal and sheet metal without the annoying snagging that happens with lesser bits. When you need a reliable, high-performance 1/2-inch bit that works as hard as you do, reach for the Walter SST.
