01J016 - Walter SST+ Stub Drill Bit, Wire Gauge #16, Cobalt Blend, Split Point

Tough Tasks Made Easy: Walter #16 SST Stub Drill

Stop wasting time and money on drill bits that snap under pressure. The Walter #16 SST Stub Drill Bit is engineered to handle the toughest jobs in the shop or on the field. If you frequently drill sheet metal, stainless steel, or use a hand drill, you know the frustration of long bits flexing and breaking. This "stub" style bit solves that problem with a shorter, sturdier flute design that offers maximum resistance to breakage. It is the ultimate solution for welders and fabricators who need a tool that works as hard as they do.

Speed matters in production, and the Walter SST Stub Drill is built for speed. It features a heavy-duty split point that bites into the metal instantly—no wandering, no skating, and no need to waste time center punching every hole. Whether you are drilling out rivets, creating pilot holes, or fabricating stainless steel panels, this bit cuts fast and stays sharp. The secret lies in its premium cobalt blend construction, which withstands the intense heat generated when drilling hard metals, ensuring the cutting edge lasts far longer than generic hardware store bits.

Versatility is key for any MRO toolkit. While this bit excels at drilling sheet metal and round surfaces, it is equally effective on mild steel and non-ferrous metals. The #16 wire gauge size (0.1770 inches) is a critical size for specific tapping and clearance applications. With its Bronze SST surface treatment reducing friction and heat, you get more holes per bit and less downtime changing out dull tools. Upgrade your drilling arsenal with the Walter 01J016 and experience the difference that professional-grade tooling makes.
