01A005A - Walter SST+ 5/64" Cobalt Jobber Drill Bit with Quick Shank

High-Performance Drilling with Walter SST+ Technology

The Walter 01A005A 5/64" SST+ Jobber Drill Bit represents the pinnacle of drilling technology for maintenance, repair, and fabrication professionals. Engineered by Walter Surface Technologies, this bit is designed to solve the common frustrations associated with standard drill bits, particularly when used with cordless power tools. At the heart of its performance is a premium cobalt blend material that provides exceptional hardness and heat resistance. This allows the bit to maintain its cutting edge longer, even when drilling through tough materials like mild steel and non-ferrous metals. The robust construction ensures that the bit can withstand the high torque and stress of industrial applications without snapping or dulling prematurely.

One of the standout features of this drill bit is the exclusive Quick Shank technology. Traditional round shanks often slip inside the chuck, especially under heavy loads, which damages the bit and frustrates the operator. The Quick Shank features a specialized geometry that locks securely into both keyed and keyless chucks, ensuring positive drive transmission. This not only prevents slippage but also significantly improves energy transfer, making it the perfect companion for cordless drills. By utilizing the torque more efficiently, the SST+ bit allows users to drill more holes per battery charge, increasing productivity on the job site and reducing downtime spent swapping batteries.

Precision is paramount in metalworking, and the Walter SST+ delivers with its self-centering "Speed Tip." This innovative point design eliminates the need for center punching, as it prevents the bit from "walking" or wandering across the surface upon contact. This is particularly advantageous when drilling into round surfaces like pipes or tubing, where standard bits often struggle to gain traction. Additionally, the bit features a back-tapered body and a special bronze SST surface treatment. These elements work together to reduce friction on the margins of the bit, minimizing heat buildup and preventing the bit from binding in the hole. Whether you are working with thin gauge sheet metal or multi-layer assemblies, the Walter 01A005A provides a clean, accurate hole with minimal burr formation.

Key Features:

• Cobalt Blend Material: Enhanced durability and heat resistance for longer tool life.
• Quick Shank Design: Prevents chuck slippage and optimizes power transmission for cordless tools.
• Speed Tip: Self-centering point allows for immediate drilling without center punching.
• Friction Reduction: Back tapered body and bronze finish reduce heat and binding.
