01J013 - Walter SST+ #13 Cobalt Stub Drill Bit for Sheet Metal

Heavy-Duty Drilling Solution for Sheet Metal and Stainless

Every welder knows the frustration of snapping a drill bit halfway through a job, especially when working on thin sheet metal or trying to drill out a spot weld. The Walter #13 SST Stub Drill (SKU: 01J013) is designed to solve exactly that problem. By using a stub length design, this bit is much shorter and thicker-cored than a standard drill bit. This means it doesn't flex, wobble, or snap when you apply pressure. It is the perfect tool for drilling out rivets, working on auto body panels, or fabricating HVAC ducting where stability is key.

Beyond just being tough, this bit is smart. It is made with a premium Cobalt blend that eats through stainless steel and mild steel without burning up. If you work with hard metals, you know that standard black oxide bits dull almost instantly. The Walter SST stays sharp longer, saving you trips to the tool crib. The 135-degree split point is another massive time-saver. It bites into the metal the second it touches, so you don't have to worry about the bit "walking" across your workpiece and scratching the finish. You can drill straight, clean holes right where you need them, every single time.

Whether you are using a hand drill in an awkward position or a stationary drill press, the Walter 01J013 delivers consistent performance. The bronze surface treatment helps clear chips out of the hole quickly, keeping the bit cool. For professional welders and fabricators who demand tools that work as hard as they do, this #13 stub drill is an essential addition to your toolbox. Stop wasting money on cheap bits that break; upgrade to the rigidity and durability of Walter SST.
