I am going to have to install 8 or 10. 3/8 or 1/2 for a roof tarp.
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.

Are you referring to eye bolts or screw eyes? You have written both.

And how would turning them be any different?

Eye bolts have machine threads so you have to use a nut with them. They
don't screw into wood very well. Screw eyes have screw threads that dig
into wood and do not require a nut.
