OVERVIEW

Reliable 3/16" Stub Drill for Tight Spaces

Fabricators and welders often face the challenge of drilling precise holes in tight quarters or through thin sheet metal without distorting the material. The Walter 3/16" Hex SST Stub Drill (01H112) is the solution. Its "stub" design means it is shorter than a standard drill bit, which provides two major benefits: it fits into cramped spaces where a long bit won't, and it is far less likely to snap when you apply pressure. This durability is crucial when you are working on auto body repairs, HVAC ducting, or electrical enclosures.

One of the standout features for welders is the 1/4" hex shank. This allows you to pop the bit directly into an impact driver or quick-change adapter, saving you time when switching between drilling and driving fasteners. You won't have to worry about the bit spinning in the chuck. Furthermore, the 135° split point tip bites into the metal instantly. You can say goodbye to the bit "walking" or skating across the surface of your sheet metal, which saves your finish and ensures your holes are exactly where you need them.

This bit isn't just for mild steel; it is tough enough for stainless steel and aluminum as well. The unique bronze coating helps shed heat and keeps the cutting edge sharp longer. If you are looking for a drill bit that offers control, speed, and resistance to breaking, the Walter SST Stub Drill is the right tool for the job.
