OVERVIEW

Stop Wasting Batteries and Start Drilling

For professional welders and fabricators, a drill bit is more than just a consumable; it's a factor in your daily productivity. The Walter SST 1/4-inch Jobber Drill Bit is built to solve the biggest headaches you face on the job site. If you rely on cordless drills, you know that inefficient bits drain your batteries fast. The Walter SST is designed to cut freely and aggressively, requiring less pressure and less power to get through the metal. This means you can drill significantly more holes on a single battery charge, keeping you working instead of swapping packs at the charger.

No More Spinning Bits

There is nothing more frustrating than leaning into a hard piece of steel only to have the drill bit stop spinning while your chuck screams. The Walter SST features a unique Quick Shank design that solves this problem permanently. The shank has special flats that lock securely into your drill's chuck, whether it's a heavy-duty keyed model or a quick-change keyless one. This secure grip means every ounce of power your drill puts out goes directly into cutting metal, not stripping the shank of your bit.

Precision on Any Surface

Whether you are drilling out rivets, prepping a surface for a weld, or fabricating a bracket, accuracy counts. The self-centering Speed Tip on this bit grabs the metal instantly, so you don't have to worry about the bit wandering across the surface and scratching your workpiece. It is highly recommended for drilling thin gauge metal, sheet metal, and even round surfaces like tubing where walking is a common issue. With its heavy-duty construction and cobalt blend, this bit eats through mild steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals, making it a versatile essential for any welder's toolbox.

FAQ

The Quick Shank design features longitudinal flats on the shank that lock into the drill chuck's jaws. This prevents the bit from spinning or slipping under high torque, ensuring maximum power transfer and preventing damage to the bit shank.

While the cobalt blend makes it very durable and capable of drilling tough metals, it is primarily recommended for mild steel, aluminum, and thin gauge metals. For dedicated heavy-duty stainless steel drilling, a higher cobalt content specific to stainless might be preferred, but this SST bit performs exceptionally well on general ferrous metals.

No, the Walter SST bit features a self-centering 'Speed Tip' that prevents the bit from walking or wandering on the surface, allowing you to start drilling accurately without a center punch.

Yes, it is specifically designed for cordless drills. Its efficient cutting geometry and back-tapered body reduce friction, which helps extend the battery life of your tool by allowing more holes per charge.

This specific SKU (01A016A) is a 1/4-inch diameter drill bit.

It is highly effective on aluminum, mild steel, non-ferrous metals, and thin gauge sheet metal.

The back tapered body reduces the surface area of the bit that contacts the side of the hole. This minimizes friction and heat generation, which preserves the temper of the bit and prevents binding.

This product comes in a blister pack containing one single drill bit.
