Walter 7/8-Inch HSS Bridge Reamer with 3-Flat Shank

Heavy-Duty 7/8" Bridge Reamer for Fabricators

When you are out in the field or on the fabrication floor, aligning bolt holes in structural steel can be a headache without the right tools. The Walter 7/8" Reamer (01P014) is built to solve exactly that problem. Often referred to as a bridge reamer or construction reamer, this tool is designed to take a smaller or misaligned hole and open it up to a clean, precise 7/8" diameter, ready for bolting. It is a must-have for ironworkers, welders, and anyone assembling heavy metal frameworks.

Durability is key when drilling through thick plate and beams. That is why Walter manufactures these reamers in the UK using high-quality High-Speed Steel (HSS). This material choice means the tool stays sharp longer and resists the heat generated during aggressive reaming. You won't have to worry about burning out your bit halfway through a job. Plus, the tapered tip helps guide the tool into the hole, centering it automatically as you push through.

Slippage is a major annoyance with round shanks, especially when applying the torque needed for reaming. Walter addresses this with a 1/2" shank featuring three ground flats. These flats lock into your drill's chuck, ensuring the bit spins with the drill, not inside it. Compatible with standard 1/2" chuck power tools, this reamer is ready to work as hard as you do. Add the Walter 01P014 to your toolbox for reliable, slip-free performance on steel, stainless, and aluminum projects.
