Abstract: An eye screw socket for anchoring an eye screw. An embodiment of the invention is a tool that includes a drive shaft with a longitudinal axis and a cavity attached to one end of the drive shaft, the cavity having an opening operable to hold an eye screw such that the longitudinal axis of the eye screw is deterred from rotating away from the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft. Another embodiment of the invention includes a method for engaging an object with a tool having a cavity attached to a first end of a drive shaft with a longitudinal axis, the cavity having a substantially rectangular opening with a first side length longer than a second side length, the rectangular opening operable to hold an eye screw such that the longitudinal axis of the eye screw is deterred from rotating.

Abstract: A tool comprising a drive shaft with a longitudinal axis and a socket attached to the drive shaft. The socket includes a cavity having a substantially rectangular opening defined by a pair of parallel side walls of the first side length and a U-shaped wall having two parallel walls adjacent to the opening and a curved portion of the U-shaped wall opposite the opening. In this manner, the cavity is shaped to fit the contour of a typical screw hook such that the screw hook can be anchored to a wall or ceiling with relative ease because the screw hook will not rotate away from the longitudinal axis of the tool.
