CONT

There are five components on a full string of cable tool drilling equipment: a drill bit or shoe, a drill stem, drilling jars, a swivel socket, and a cable. The drill bit transmits the force to the earth. The drill stem is the longest section, and it connects the bit to the drilling jars. The drilling jars are like a pair of links in a chain and are used to jar the drill bit free of the formation. The swivel socket connects the rest of the drill tools to the cable.

CONT

A swivel socket [is used] to connect the cable to the tools and enable the cable to unwind.
