Walter SST 13/64" Cobalt Drill Bit with Quick Shank

The Ultimate Drill Bit for Mobile Welders and Fabricators

For welders and fabricators, a drill bit is more than just a consumable; it's a critical tool that needs to work as hard as you do. The Walter 13/64" SST Jobber Drill Bit is engineered specifically to meet the demands of the welding trade, particularly for those who rely on cordless power tools in the field. One of the standout features for mobile applications is the bit's energy efficiency. The back-tapered body and bronze SST surface treatment significantly reduce friction during operation. This means your cordless drill uses less power per hole, allowing you to drill more holes per battery charge—a crucial advantage when you are working on a site with limited access to power.

Drilling into round stock, such as pipes and tubing, is a daily task for many welders. Standard bits often "walk" across the surface, damaging the finish and compromising accuracy. The Walter 01A013A features a self-centering Speed Tip that bites into the metal instantly, even on curved surfaces, ensuring your holes are exactly where you need them without the hassle of using a center punch. This precision is matched by the bit's rugged construction, utilizing a high-quality cobalt blend that resists the high temperatures generated when drilling through steel and aluminum.

Furthermore, the Quick Shank technology is a game-changer for fabricators who frequently swap bits. The shank is designed to lock securely into your drill's chuck, preventing the bit from spinning under high torque. This is especially important when drilling through tough or multi-layered sheet metal where resistance changes abruptly. With the Walter SST drill bit, you get a tool that stays sharp, stays cool, and stays secure, letting you focus on getting the fabrication job done right.
