OVERVIEW

Reliable Drilling for the Toughest Jobs

When you are out in the field or working in the shop, you need a drill bit that bites hard and stays sharp. The Walter 17/64" SST Jobber Drill Bit is built for welders and fabricators who demand performance. This isn't your average hardware store bit; it is crafted with a robust cobalt blend that resists heat buildup, keeping the cutting edge sharp hole after hole. Whether you are drilling out rivets, fabricating brackets, or working on sheet metal repairs, this bit delivers the consistency you need to get the job done right the first time.

We know that time is money, and struggling with a wandering drill bit is a waste of both. That is why the Walter SST features a self-centering Speed Tip. You can place this bit directly on a pipe or a flat piece of steel and pull the trigger—it digs in immediately without walking. This precision is matched by the convenience of the Quick Shank. If you have ever had a round-shank bit spin inside your chuck, you know the hassle. The Quick Shank locks in tight, ensuring that all your drill's power goes into the cut, not into spinning the bit in the jaws.

This bit is also a perfect companion for your cordless drill. Its efficient cutting geometry requires less pressure and torque, which means your battery lasts longer, letting you drill more holes on a single charge. Capable of handling mild steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals with ease, the Walter 01A017A is a versatile addition to any welder's arsenal. The bronze surface treatment helps shed chips and reduce heat, ensuring that this tried-and-true original remains a staple in your tool kit for years to come.
