01E178 - Walter #29 Sst Qck Shank Drill Set/Plastic Box

Reliable Drilling Power for Fabricators and Welders

For welders and metal fabricators, a reliable set of drill bits is as essential as a good welding torch. The Walter 29-Piece SST Quick Shank Drill Set offers the durability and performance needed to tackle the demanding tasks found in fabrication shops. From drilling out broken bolts to preparing rivet holes or creating pilot holes for large fasteners, this set provides a complete range of sizes from 1/16" to 1/2" to cover all your bases. The included plastic case is built tough to survive drops and rough handling, keeping your bits sorted and ready for action.

Fabricators often work with stainless steel and other hard metals that can destroy lesser drill bits. Walter's SST bits are manufactured with a cobalt blend that resists the high temperatures generated when drilling hard materials. This means you spend less time swapping out dull bits and more time getting the job done. The 135° split point is a game-changer for field work; it bites into the metal instantly, allowing you to drill accurate holes even on curved surfaces or in awkward positions without needing a center punch.

The standout feature for anyone using hand drills is the Quick Shank technology. There is nothing worse than pushing hard on a drill only to have the chuck spin around a stationary bit. The Quick Shank design features flat sides on the shank (for larger sizes) that lock into the chuck jaws, guaranteeing positive drive. This is especially useful when drilling through thick plate or structural steel where high torque is required. With the Walter 01E178 set, you get consistent power transfer, cleaner holes, and a workflow that isn't interrupted by equipment limitations.

This set is versatile enough to handle everything from mild steel brackets to aluminum frames and stainless sheets. The high-flow flutes pull chips out of the hole quickly, preventing binding and overheating. Invest in a drill set that works as hard as you do—the Walter SST Quick Shank set is the professional choice for serious metalworkers.
