01A026 - Walter SST+ 13/32" Cobalt Drill Bit with Quick Shank

Reliable Drilling for the Welding Professional

For welders and fabricators, a drill bit that fails or slips in the middle of a job is more than just an annoyance—it's a stoppage. The Walter 13/32" SST Jobber Drill Bit is built to withstand the rigors of the welding shop and the field. This bit is crafted from a robust cobalt blend, giving it the hardness and heat tolerance necessary to punch through mild steel, aluminum, and other structural metals without dulling prematurely. Whether you are drilling out rivets, preparing pilot holes for fasteners, or fabricating brackets, the durability of the SST bit ensures you spend more time working and less time swapping out worn tooling.

The defining feature for any welder using handheld power tools is the Quick Shank technology. We've all experienced the frustration of a round-shank bit spinning inside the chuck when the going gets tough, damaging the bit shank and the chuck jaws. Walter's Quick Shank solves this problem permanently. Its specialized shape locks into the jaws of your drill, providing a non-slip grip that powers through the material. This is especially critical when working with cordless drills on site, where maximizing the efficiency of your battery power is essential. The secure grip means every rotation of the motor results in metal removal.

Beyond its grip, the cutting performance is optimized for ease of use. The self-centering Speed Tip bites into the metal immediately upon contact. This is a huge advantage when working on round stock or in awkward positions where applying heavy feed pressure is difficult. You won't need to waste time reaching for a center punch and hammer; simply point and drill. The bit's geometry is also specifically tuned for thin gauge metals, allowing it to pierce through multiple layers cleanly without snagging or distorting the material. With its bronze surface treatment reducing friction, the Walter 01A026 is the reliable, heavy-duty partner your drill needs.
