Drill bit shank Drill bit shank The shank is the end of a drill bit grasped by the chuck of a drill. The cutting edges of the drill bit contact the workpiece, and are connected via the shaft with the shank, which fits into the chuck. In many cases a general-purpose arrangement is used, such as a bit with cylindrical shaft and shank in a three-jaw chuck which grips a cylindrical shank tightly. Different shank and chuck combination can deliver improved performance, such as allowing higher torque, greater centering accuracy, or moving the bit, but not the chuck, with a hammer action. This
Mr. and Mrs. Is the Name Mr. and Mrs. Is the Name Mr. and Mrs. Is the Name is a 1935 animated "Merrie Melodies" cartoon, starring Buddy and Cookie (as two mer-kids), and is noted to be the only Buddy cartoon in Technicolor. This is directed by Friz Freleng. Mermaids sing to the audience about mermaids and fishes at play; they and some other sea creatures dance to the song. A young merman who resembles Buddy plays tag with a mermaid resembling Cookie, but she is offended when he "tags" her a bit too hard. Buddy looks inside a sunken ship and drags Cookie to it.
