01A018A - Walter SST+ 9/32 Inch Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit with Quick Shank

Reliable Metal Drilling for the Professional Welder

When you are out in the field or working in the shop, you need a drill bit that bites hard and doesn't quit. The Walter 9/32" SST Jobber Drill Bit (01A018A) is built for welders and fabricators who demand speed and durability. One of the biggest headaches with standard drill bits is the shank slipping in the chuck when you hit a hard spot or snag. Walter solved this with their innovative Quick Shank design. This shank has specially machined flats that lock into your drill's chuck, ensuring the bit spins 100% of the time, even when you are leaning into a tough piece of steel. This means no more chewed-up shanks and no more wasted time retightening your chuck.

This bit is a perfect match for your cordless power tools. We all know that battery life is gold on a job site. The SST bit is engineered to cut freely and efficiently, requiring less pressure and torque to penetrate the metal. This efficiency translates directly to more holes per battery charge, keeping you working longer without swapping packs. The "Speed Tip" is another game-changer for fabrication work. It centers itself instantly, so you can drill precise holes in sheet metal, angle iron, or pipe without the bit skating all over the surface. You get a clean hole exactly where you need it, every time.

Durability is key when drilling through layers of metal. Made from a tough cobalt blend, the Walter SST bit resists the high heat generated during drilling, which is the number one killer of standard bits. The bronze surface treatment helps clear chips out of the hole quickly, preventing binding. Whether you are drilling out rivets, prepping stock for welding, or making holes for fasteners in aluminum or mild steel, this bit is designed to handle the abuse of daily metalworking. It is an essential addition to any welder's toolbox, offering the reliability needed to keep production moving.
