Walter SST+ Cobalt Blend Jobber Drill Bit, Wire Gauge #56

The Ultimate Drill Bit for Stainless Steel and Metal Fabrication

For professional welders and fabricators, time is money, and nothing wastes time like a dull drill bit. The Walter 01B556 SST+ Jobber Drill Bit (#56) is built to solve the frustrations of drilling through hard metals. If you frequently work with stainless steel, you know how easily standard bits can burn up or work-harden the material. Walter's SST+ series uses a heavy-duty cobalt blend that resists heat and stays sharp longer, allowing you to punch through stainless, mild steel, and aluminum with confidence. This is the reliable workhorse you need in your tool crib for maintenance, repair, and custom fabrication projects.

One of the standout features of this drill bit is its ability to stay exactly where you put it. Thanks to the self-centering Speed Tip, you can say goodbye to the annoyance of bits skating across the metal surface. You don't need to waste time grabbing a center punch and hammer; just line up your shot and pull the trigger. The bit bites instantly, creating clean, round holes with minimal burring. This precision is crucial when you are drilling pilot holes or working with exact tolerances in a high-paced shop environment.

Durability is built into every inch of the 01B556. The bronze SST surface treatment isn't just for looks—it helps the bit glide through metal with less friction, keeping temperatures down and preventing the bit from snapping under load. The body of the bit is back-tapered, which means it won't get stuck or bind up deep in a hole, a common problem with inferior bits. Whether you are drilling out broken bolts, prepping for tapping, or fabricating brackets, the Walter SST+ delivers the speed and reliability professional tradespeople demand. Upgrade your drilling arsenal with a bit that works as hard as you do.
