01A005 - Walter SST 5/64 Inch Cobalt Drill Bit with Quick Shank

Maximize Your Cordless Drill Efficiency

For welders and fabricators who rely on cordless tools in the field or the shop, the Walter 5/64" SST Jobber Drill Bit (SKU: 01A005) is the ultimate upgrade. Standard drill bits can drain battery life quickly due to inefficient cutting geometry and friction. Walter has designed the SST series specifically to optimize performance with cordless drills. By cutting faster and with less resistance, these bits allow you to drill more holes per battery charge, keeping you working longer without stopping to swap power packs.

The durability of the Walter SST bit is unmatched in its class. Constructed from a tough cobalt blend, it is built to withstand the harsh conditions of metal fabrication. Whether you are drilling out rivets, prepping surfaces for welding, or fabricating aluminum frames, this bit stays sharp longer than standard HSS alternatives. The bronze SST surface treatment provides lubricity and heat resistance, preventing the bit from annealing and dulling prematurely when things heat up.

Fabricators often face the challenge of drilling into awkward or rounded surfaces. The Walter SST bit solves this with its advanced self-centering Speed Tip. You can place the tip exactly where you need the hole—even on curved pipe or tubing—and it will penetrate without wandering. This precision saves time and reduces scrapped material caused by misplaced holes. Additionally, the bit is excellent for drilling through thin gauge sheet metal, producing clean, round holes without the tearing or burring often seen with inferior bits.

The Quick Shank feature is a game-changer for fast-paced welding environments. It allows for rapid bit changes and ensures a positive drive engagement, so you never have to worry about the bit spinning inside the chuck when the torque kicks in. From mild steel to non-ferrous alloys, the Walter 01A005 is the reliable, heavy-duty choice for serious craftsmen who demand the best from their consumables.
