OVERVIEW

Reliable Drilling for the Professional Fabricator

For welders and fabricators, time is money, and equipment failure is not an option. The Walter 3/16" SST Jobber Drill Bit (SKU: 01A012A) is built to handle the rigorous demands of the welding shop and the job site. When you are prepping materials for a weld or drilling out rivets, you need a bit that bites hard and stays sharp. The SST's cobalt blend construction provides the toughness required to drill through stainless steel and other hard metals without dulling prematurely, saving you the hassle of constant bit changes.

We have all experienced the frustration of a drill bit spinning inside the chuck when the going gets tough. It damages the bit, ruins the chuck, and stops your work dead in its tracks. Walter solved this problem with their innovative Quick Shank. This design features flattened areas on the shank that allow your drill's jaws to grab hold securely. Whether you are using a heavy-duty shop drill or a portable cordless driver, the Quick Shank ensures the bit turns when the motor turns, giving you the power to punch through metal quickly and effectively.

Accuracy is critical when fitting up parts. The self-centering Speed Tip on the Walter SST bit means you can say goodbye to the center punch. You can place the tip exactly where you need the hole, pull the trigger, and the bit penetrates immediately without wandering. This is a game-changer when working on pipe, tubing, or uneven surfaces where standard bits tend to skate. The clean, precise holes produced by the SST bit ensure better fit-up and higher quality fabrication work.

Efficiency on the job site often comes down to battery management. Because the Walter SST bit cuts so aggressively and cleanly, it puts less strain on your cordless tools. This means you can drill more holes on a single battery charge, keeping you working instead of waiting by the charger. From thin sheet metal to structural components, the Walter 01A012A is the reliable partner you need in your tool belt to get the job done right the first time.
