01H126 - Walter 13/32 Hex Sst Stub Drill

The Tough Bit for Tight Spots and Hard Metal

Every welder and fabricator knows the frustration of trying to drill a hole in a tight spot, only to have the drill bit snap because it flexed too much. Or worse, trying to start a hole on a piece of sheet metal, only to watch the bit skate across the surface, scratching your work. The Walter 01H126 13/32" Hex SST Stub Drill is the solution to these common shop headaches. Designed with a shorter, "stubby" profile, this bit is built to take a beating. Because it is shorter than a standard drill bit, it doesn't bend or flex when you lean into it. This rigidity means you can apply the pressure needed to cut through hard metals without worrying about the bit snapping off inside the hole.

One of the standout features for fabricators is the 135-degree split point tip. If you are drilling out rivets or making holes in stainless steel panels, you don't always have a free hand to grab a center punch and hammer. With this Walter bit, you don't need one. The split point bites into the metal the instant it touches, preventing the "walking" that ruins finishes and breaks smaller bits. It centers itself, giving you a clean, accurate hole exactly where you want it, even on round tubing or polished sheet metal.

The shank on this bit is another game-changer. It features a hex shank design, which means it locks positively into your drill chuck. We've all had round-shank bits spin inside the chuck when the going gets tough, ruining the shank and damaging the drill jaws. The hex shape prevents that slippage entirely. It also means this bit is compatible with impact drivers and quick-change adapters, making it incredibly versatile for field work or climbing around large assemblies. The Bronze SST coating helps the bit run cooler, which is critical when you are drilling stainless steel, preventing the work-hardening that kills cheap bits.

Whether you are drilling access holes in an electrical cabinet, popping rivets on a restoration project, or fabricating custom brackets, the Walter 01H126 is the reliable partner you need. It drills faster, lasts longer, and fits where long bits can't. Stop wasting money on bits that break and burn up; upgrade to the stability and performance of Walter's SST Stub Drills.
