01K004 - Walter SST+ 1/16 Inch Cobalt Double-Ended Stub Drill Bit

Double the Life, Maximum Efficiency

The Walter 1/16" SST+ Double-Ended Stub Drill Bit is engineered for professionals who demand durability and speed in their drilling operations. Designed specifically for thin-gauge materials and sheet metal, this drill bit solves the common frustrations associated with standard length bits. Its unique double-ended design effectively gives you two drill bits in one; when one side dulls, simply flip it over and continue working, instantly doubling the lifespan of your consumable and reducing downtime.

Constructed from a premium Cobalt HSS (High-Speed Steel) blend, the Walter SST+ series outperforms and outlasts traditional black oxide bits. The cobalt content provides exceptional heat resistance, allowing the bit to maintain its cutting edge even under high-temperature applications often found in automotive and aeronautical maintenance. This makes it the ideal choice for drilling out rivets or creating precise holes in stainless steel and aluminum sheets where heat buildup can rapidly destroy lesser tools.

One of the standout features of this bit is its stub length. By shortening the overall length, Walter has significantly increased the rigidity of the tool. This added stiffness virtually eliminates the flexing and snapping common with jobber-length bits, especially when using hand-held portable drills. Combined with the SST surface treatment which enhances lubricity, this bit offers a smooth, clean cut every time. Whether you are in an industrial fabrication shop or performing on-site repairs, the Walter 01K004 delivers the reliability you need to keep your project moving forward.

Key Benefits for Fabrication

• Cost-Effective: Two cutting ends per bit means you buy fewer bits over time.
• Reduced Breakage: The short, stout profile withstands the torque and side-loading of hand drills.
• Versatile Performance: Excellent for mild steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals.
