The end of the bit that attaches to the chuck is called the "shank." The shank provides a stable surface for the chuck to grip"." The cross section of the shank can be circular, triangular, or hexagonal. When drilling, it is possible for a circular shank to slip in the chuck. Triangular or hexagonal shanks cannot slip in the chuck, which is an advantage.
