01H032 - Walter 1/2 Sst Stub Drill

The Tough Little Bit That Won't Snap

Every welder knows the frustration of trying to drill out a spot weld or put a hole in a tight chassis corner, only to have a long drill bit flex, catch, and snap off inside the hole. The Walter 01H032 1/2" SST Stub Drill is the solution to that headache. Designed with a shorter, stockier profile, this "stubby" bit is built to take the abuse of the shop floor. Because it's shorter, it doesn't bend when you lean into it, giving you the direct force transfer you need to punch through hardened steel or stainless without worrying about the bit shattering.

One of the best features for fabrication work is the 135° split point. If you are working on a curved piece of pipe or a slick sheet of stainless, you know how hard it is to get a standard bit to start exactly where you want it. This Walter bit bites instantly. You don't need to waste time grabbing a center punch and a hammer; just line it up and pull the trigger. It stays put, drilling exactly where you aim, which saves your finish from nasty scratch marks caused by wandering bits.

The Bronze SST coating isn't just for looks—it's a heat shield. Drilling generates a lot of heat, especially in stainless, which can kill a bit's temper in seconds. This coating helps the chips slide out of the flutes faster and keeps the cutting edge cooler, meaning you get more holes per bit. Whether you are drilling rivet holes in sheet metal, working on truck bodies, or just need a reliable 1/2" hole in a tight space where a long bit won't fit, this Walter stub drill is a must-have for your toolbox.
