drill press shank test

[ed miller]

I'm curious if anyone out there has ever checked shanks, prior to installing 
them, for straightness by using a screw gun?

I just tried it for the first time and it seemed to be more accurate and 
faster than rolling, or eyeing, them roll on a flat surface.

I inserted each shank into the chuck of my cordless drill, pressed the 
button, and rejected any that had a wobble as it turned. I was very cautious 
in making sure the shank was seated straight in the drill chuck.

What are people's thoughts on this technique?
