OVERVIEW

Reliable Drilling for Fabricators and Welders

When you are in the middle of a fabrication job, the last thing you need is a drill bit that dulls instantly or spins in your chuck. The Walter 3/8" SST Jobber Drill Bit (01A024A) is designed specifically to solve these common shop frustrations. Manufactured with a durable cobalt blend, this bit is engineered to tackle a wide variety of materials found in the welding shop, including mild steel, non-ferrous metals, and aluminum. Its robust construction ensures it can handle the rigors of daily use, making it a staple in any welder's toolbox.

The innovative Quick Shank feature is a game-changer for anyone using handheld drills. By incorporating flat surfaces on the shank, Walter has eliminated the annoyance of the bit slipping inside the chuck when the going gets tough. This ensures that all the power from your drill is directed into the cut, providing a faster and more aggressive drilling action. For those working with cordless drills, this efficiency means less strain on the motor and longer battery life, allowing you to keep working without constant interruptions to swap batteries.

Drilling round surfaces or thin sheet metal can often be tricky, but the Walter SST bit makes it effortless. The exclusive self-centering Speed Tip allows you to start holes precisely where you need them without the bit wandering. Additionally, the special bronze SST surface treatment helps clear chips quickly and reduces heat buildup, which is critical when drilling through multiple layers of metal. Whether you are installing rivets, prepping for bolts, or making clearance holes, this drill bit offers the speed, durability, and ease of use that professional welders require to get the job done right.
