01H116 - Walter 1/4 Hex Sst Stub Drill

The Ultimate Stub Drill for Tight Spots and Sheet Metal

For welders and fabricators, space is often a luxury. The Walter 1/4" Hex Shank SST Stub Drill (SKU: 01H116) is built to go where standard drills can't. Its short, "stubby" profile allows you to drill holes inside electrical cabinets, between frame rails, and in other awkward, confined areas where a long drill bit simply won't fit. Beyond just fitting in tight spots, the shorter length makes this bit incredibly tough. Because it doesn't flex like a longer bit, you can apply more pressure without worrying about it snapping off mid-job, saving you the frustration and cost of retrieving broken bits from your workpiece.

Time is money in the shop, and the 1/4" hex shank is a game-changer for workflow efficiency. It snaps directly into your impact driver or quick-change adapter, meaning you don't have to waste time cranking a drill chuck key. You can drill a hole, pop the bit out, snap in a driver bit, and secure your rivet or screw in one fluid motion. This secure hex fit also means the bit will never spin inside the chuck, giving you full torque transfer even when drilling through tough stainless steel or thick aluminum plate.

Drilling sheet metal can be tricky with standard bits that tend to wander or create jagged, burred holes. This Walter SST drill features a 135-degree split point that acts like a built-in center punch. It starts cutting the instant it touches the metal, giving you clean, precise holes exactly where you marked them. The special bronze SST coating helps the bit run cooler, preventing it from overheating and dulling when you're drilling multiple holes in a row. Whether you are drilling out spot welds, installing rivets, or running conduit, this stub drill is the reliable, heavy-duty partner your impact driver needs.
