The Shank Protector helps to safeguard and cover the shank of a tool or equipment, typically for purposes of protection during storage, transport, or handling. The Shank Protector consists of a few parts, including a sleeve and a lock retainer. The Sleeve is a cylindrical or tubular component that fits over the shank of the tool or equipment. The Lock Retainer is a mechanism incorporated into the shank protector to secure the sleeve in place.

Attributes:
• Provides a protective barrier around the shank, shielding it from damage, corrosion, or other environmental factors
• Designed to snugly encase the shank, preventing physical contact with potentially abrasive or corrosive surfaces
• Ensures the sleeve remains securely attached to the shank

Applications:
The Shank Protector is used to preserve the shank's condition and prevent potential issues caused by impacts, abrasion, or exposure to elements.
