It there a way to drive them with a battery drill.
I am thinking about at least drilling the hole a little smaller than

Just chuck up the biggest Allen wrench in your set in the drill and
use it for a driver. The hex can't slip and the right angle should be
just right to turn the eyebolt. You're welcome...

pack.
