Walter 1/8-Inch SST Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit with Quick Shank

Reliable 1/8" Drill Bit for Tough Fabrication Jobs

When you are in the middle of a fabrication project, the last thing you need is a drill bit that dulls instantly or spins helplessly in the chuck. The Walter 1/8" SST Jobber Drill Bit is built to solve these specific shop-floor problems. Designed for welders and fabricators who demand durability, this bit features a robust cobalt blend construction. This material choice allows the bit to maintain its cutting edge even when subjected to the intense heat of drilling through steel and stainless steel alloys. It is a tool built for the reality of heavy-duty metalworking.

The defining feature for many users is the Quick Shank technology. If you have ever struggled with a round shank bit slipping in your drill chuck—especially when applying pressure—you know how it kills productivity and damages the shank. The Walter Quick Shank ensures a positive lock every time, whether you are using a hand drill or a drill press. This secure grip means all the power from your drill goes directly into the cut, making your work faster and easier. It is especially effective for cordless tools, helping you get the most out of your battery life on the job site.

Drilling through sheet metal or round tubing can be tricky, but the Walter SST makes it straightforward. The self-centering Speed Tip allows you to place the bit exactly where you need it and start drilling without it wandering across the workpiece. This eliminates the extra step of center punching, saving you time on every hole. The bit's geometry is also optimized to drill round holes in thin materials without tearing or distorting the metal, a common issue with standard bits. The back-tapered design prevents binding, ensuring the bit exits the material as smoothly as it enters.

From aluminum repairs to mild steel fabrication, this 1/8-inch jobber bit is a versatile workhorse. Its bronze surface treatment helps shed chips and reduce friction, keeping the bit cooler and cutting longer. Upgrade your drilling arsenal with a bit that works as hard as you do.
