01K101 - Walter SST #1 Cobalt Double-Ended Stub Drill Bit

Heavy-Duty Drilling for Fabricators and Welders

When you are in the middle of a fabrication job or repairing a vehicle body, the last thing you need is a drill bit that snaps or dulls halfway through a hole. The Walter #1 SST Double-End Stub Drill Bit is built specifically to solve the headaches welders and mechanics face daily. Known for its rugged durability, this bit features a cobalt blend construction that stands up to the intense heat generated when drilling through tough metals like stainless steel, chromoly, and hardened alloys.

The "stub" design is a game-changer for body work and sheet metal fabrication. Because the bit is shorter than a standard drill, it is incredibly stiff and resistant to snapping. This allows you to apply the necessary pressure to bite into the metal without worrying about the bit flexing or breaking off inside the hole. It is the perfect tool for drilling out spot welds, removing rivets, or creating pilot holes in tight spaces where a long bit would be unwieldy. The 135-degree split point tip bites instantly, so you don't have to worry about the bit skating across your fresh paint or clean metal surface.

Value is key in any shop, and the double-ended feature of this Walter bit delivers exactly that. It is essentially two drill bits for the price of one. If you are drilling out a long series of rivets and the tip starts to lose its edge, just flip it around in your drill chuck and you are back in business with a brand-new cutting edge in seconds. This saves you trips to the tool crib and keeps your project moving forward. The #1 wire gauge size (0.2280 inches) is a specific size often required for tapping or specific rivet installations, ensuring you have the right precision tool for the job.

From the automotive shop to the welding table, the Walter SST Double-End Stub Drill is designed to work as hard as you do. Its specialized geometry and premium materials mean fewer bit changes, cleaner holes, and less frustration. Equip your shop with the drill bit that sets the standard for reliability and performance in metalworking.
