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


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...


Except it won't be in line w/ the shaft of the eyebolt but will be
offset going 'round 'n 'round...
