OVERVIEW

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.

FAQ

The Quick Shank is a specialized shank design with flat sides that ensures a secure, non-slip grip in both keyed and keyless drill chucks, preventing the bit from spinning under high torque.

While the Walter SST bits contain a cobalt blend and are high-performance, they are primarily recommended for mild steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals. For dedicated stainless steel drilling, specific stainless-grade bits might be preferred, though this bit can handle occasional stainless work due to its cobalt content.

No, the Walter SST drill bit features a self-centering 'Speed Tip' that prevents the bit from walking, allowing you to start drilling precisely where you want without pre-punching.

Yes, it is highly recommended for cordless drills. Its efficient cutting geometry reduces the power required to drill, which helps extend the battery life of your tool.

This bit excels in drilling aluminum, mild steel, non-ferrous metals, and thin gauge sheet metal.

The bronze SST surface treatment improves lubricity and helps evacuate chips more efficiently, which reduces heat buildup and extends the life of the drill bit.

The Walter 01A032 has a diameter of 1/2 inch.

Yes, the self-centering tip makes it ideal for drilling on round surfaces like pipes and tubing because it bites into the material immediately without wandering.
