OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Performance for Metal Fabrication

When your project demands reliable holes in metal, the Walter 1/8" SST Jobber Drill Bit (SKU: 01A008) is the tool of choice for welders and fabricators. Built to withstand the rigors of daily industrial use, this drill bit combines rugged durability with smart engineering features that make your work easier. One of the standout features is its optimization for cordless drills. In the field, battery life is precious; the aggressive cutting geometry and low-friction design of the SST bit mean less energy is required per hole, allowing you to drill more holes per battery charge. This makes it an essential accessory for mobile repair trucks and field installation crews.

The construction of the Walter SST bit features a heavy-duty fully ground body, ensuring straight, accurate holes every time. It is particularly effective for drilling through multiple layers of metal, such as stacked sheet metal or structural overlaps. The cobalt blend material ensures that the cutting edges resist dulling, even after repeated use in mild steel and aluminum. This durability translates to fewer bit changes and less downtime, keeping your production line moving smoothly. The 1/8-inch diameter is a versatile size, commonly used for pilot holes, rivet holes, and general fastening applications.

Safety and ease of use are also key benefits of this product. The exclusive Quick Shank ensures a positive drive, preventing the dangerous and annoying slippage that can occur when a bit binds in the material. Additionally, the self-centering Speed Tip allows for precise placement of holes on curved surfaces, such as pipes or tubing, without the bit skating off the mark. With its bronze surface treatment protecting against corrosion and reducing heat, the Walter 01A008 is a long-lasting investment for any toolbox. Whether you are working on HVAC ducting, automotive repairs, or general metal fabrication, trust Walter's proven technology to deliver clean, burr-free holes efficiently.

FAQ

The Quick Shank is designed to provide a secure grip in both keyed and keyless chucks, preventing the bit from spinning or slipping during high-torque drilling applications.

While it contains a cobalt blend which improves hardness, this specific bit is optimized for mild steel, aluminum, and thin gauge metals. For dedicated stainless steel drilling, specific high-cobalt or carbide bits might be recommended depending on thickness, but this bit handles general metalworking excellently.

No, the Walter SST bit features an exclusive self-centering Speed Tip that prevents walking, allowing you to drill precisely without pre-punching.

Yes, the Walter SST series is specifically engineered to be energy efficient, allowing you to drill more holes per battery charge, making it ideal for cordless tools.

The diameter of this drill bit is 1/8 inch.

It is crafted from a high-quality cobalt blend with a heavy-duty fully ground body and a bronze SST surface treatment.

Yes, it is highly recommended for drilling through several layers of thin gauge metal or sheet metal efficiently.

The bit features a special bronze SST surface treatment that helps reduce friction and heat buildup.
