the body having a shank connected to the rear end of the
driver head for detachably connecting the driver head to a source
of rotary power;
the driver head having a centrally located longitudinal slot
of a given width therein adapted to slidably receive a
nonthreaded portion of an eyebolt or hook, the slot extending
across the forward end and along the central axis of rotation
toward the rear end to a given depth so as to terminate in a
bottom wall and define a pair of opposing side walls, the slot
extending completely across the driver head so as to be open on
opposite sides;
the driver head having a threaded hole extending through one
of the side walls and entering into the slot, the threaded hole
having a centerline spaced forwardly a distance dss from the
bottom wall;
