01A016 - Walter SST 1/4 Inch Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit with Quick Shank

Walter SST 1/4" Jobber Drill Bit: Precision and Power

The Walter 01A016 1/4" SST Jobber Drill Bit represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for industrial and maintenance applications. Designed with the professional user in mind, this drill bit addresses the most common pain points associated with drilling metal. At its core is a robust cobalt blend construction, which provides exceptional heat resistance and hardness. This allows the bit to maintain its cutting edge even when drilling through tough materials like mild steel and non-ferrous metals, ensuring a long service life and consistent performance.

One of the standout features of this SST bit is the exclusive Quick Shank design. Traditional round shanks often slip inside the chuck, especially under high torque, leading to damage to the bit and the drill. The Quick Shank features engineered flats that lock securely into both keyed and keyless chucks, ensuring positive torque transfer and preventing slippage entirely. This feature is particularly beneficial for users of cordless drills, as it ensures that every ounce of power from the motor is transferred to the cutting edge, maximizing the number of holes you can drill on a single battery charge.

Precision is guaranteed with the exclusive self-centering "Speed Tip." This advanced tip geometry bites into the material immediately upon contact, eliminating the need for a center punch and preventing the bit from "walking" or skating across the surface. This is crucial when working on curved surfaces or when precision hole placement is required. Additionally, the heavy-duty fully ground body and back tapered design reduce friction and heat buildup, allowing for smoother drilling through multiple layers of metal or thin gauge sheet metal without binding.

Whether you are working in an automotive shop, a fabrication plant, or on a construction site, the Walter 01A016 offers the reliability and efficiency required for professional-grade work. Its special bronze SST surface treatment further enhances chip flow, keeping the cutting area clear and reducing the effort needed to push the drill through the material.
