01H022 - Walter 11/32 Sst Stub Drill

The Fabricator's Choice for Tight Spaces and Sheet Metal

For welders and automotive fabricators, space is often at a premium and precision is mandatory. The Walter 11/32" SST Stub Drill (01H022) is specifically engineered to solve the common frustrations associated with drilling sheet metal and working in confined areas. Known as a "stub" or screw machine length bit, this tool is shorter than a standard drill bit. This compact design allows you to fit your drill into tight chassis corners, wheel wells, and machinery housings where a standard bit simply wouldn't fit.

Beyond its compact size, the 01H022 is a powerhouse of performance. Anyone who has tried to drill out a spot weld or make a rivet hole in a slick panel knows the pain of a drill bit "walking" across the paint. Walter has solved this with a 135° split point. This aggressive tip geometry digs in instantly, ensuring your hole is exactly where you marked it, without the need for a center punch or pilot hole. This feature alone saves countless hours on large fabrication projects and reduces the risk of damaging the surrounding metal.

Durability is paramount when drilling hardened welds or stainless steel panels. The stubby design makes this bit incredibly rigid, virtually eliminating the flexing that causes standard bits to snap. Combined with Walter's exclusive bronze SST surface treatment, which lubricates the cut and dissipates heat, this bit stays sharp longer and cuts faster. It produces clean, round holes with minimal burring, meaning less time spent deburring and more time welding. It is the ideal companion for bodywork, HVAC installation, and general metal fabrication.

Why Welders Prefer the SST Stub Drill

• No Walking: Starts drilling on contact, even on curved pipe or tubing.
• Superior Control: Shorter length brings your hand closer to the work for better stability.
• Longer Life: Resists snapping and dulling, even in stainless steel.
