Spiral Drill Collars

Why spiral Drill Collars? The spiral cut is added to a drill collar to prevent the possibility of wall-sticking by reducing the wall contact between the drill collar and the hole wall.
Where is the spiriling done on the drill collar? The box end of the spiral drill collars is left uncut from 18" to 24", and the pin end is left uncut 12" to 20" from the shoulder.
