01E618 - Walter SST 29-Piece Quick Shank Drill Bit Set with Metal Index

Professional Grade Drilling Precision

The Walter 01E618 SST Drill Set is a premium 29-piece collection designed for industrial professionals who demand reliability and speed in their drilling operations. This comprehensive set covers the essential fractional sizes from 1/16-inch to 1/2-inch in 1/64-inch increments, ensuring you have the right tool for virtually any standard fabrication or maintenance task. Housed in a robust metal index container, this set is built to withstand the rigors of the workshop and job site, keeping your tools organized and protected against damage.

Exclusive Quick Shank Technology

One of the standout features of this set is the inclusion of Walter's SST Quick Shank drill bits. Traditional round shanks often suffer from slippage inside the drill chuck, especially under high-torque loads. The Quick Shank design incorporates longitudinal flats on the shank, allowing the chuck jaws to grip the bit securely. This eliminates spinning, maximizes power transmission, and protects both the bit and the drill chuck from wear. It is particularly effective when using keyless chucks on cordless power tools.

Optimized for Metal Fabrication

These high-performance jobber bits are engineered with a 135° split point geometry. This advanced tip design allows the bit to self-center immediately upon contact with the workpiece, preventing the "walking" effect common with standard 118° bits. This makes the Walter 01E618 set ideal for drilling into curved surfaces, such as pipes and tubing, without the need for a center punch. Whether you are working with mild steel, aluminum, or other non-ferrous metals, these bits deliver clean, round holes with exceptional efficiency.

Durable and Organized Storage

Organization is key to productivity. The metal index box features fold-out panels that clearly display the size of each bit, making selection and replacement effortless. The compact design fits easily into toolboxes while providing shock resistance during transport. For maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) teams, the Walter 01E618 set represents a long-term investment in quality drilling capability.
