The shank on an SDS Plus Drill adaptor has four sets of grooves. Two open ended and two closed ended. Two of these grooves are where the ball bearings of the drill chuck run and the two others are where the mortar rake shank fits in. The adaptor is not therefore held solidly in the chuck as it is in a standard drill. Instead the 'open ended' and 'closed ended' grooves along the shank of the mortar rake adaptor provide channels in which the ball bearings of the SDS Plus Drill's chuck can slide back and forth. This keeps the movement directed up and down, preventing the attachment from slipping or rotating freely.
