I have bought a bits set and there is this bit:
It is a Y shaped bit, and there is a groove on the inside of the branches. The angle is approximatively 90˚ (a little more).

Re. your edit: "shaped" is actually the correct word to use here, not "shape"– Niall C. ♦Feb 12, 2013 at 15:10

@NiallC. OK I canceled my edit. As a non-native speaker I trusted the wording on Tester101's answer - which happens to be wrong..– alecailFeb 12, 2013 at 16:29

It's a bit for screwing in eye bolts, or hooks.
- Attach the bit to your driver handle or power driver.
- Fit the eye bolt into the groove.
- Screw the bolt in/out, without hurting your fingers.
The list of bits in this set, lists it as a "Y-shape hook driver".

I tried it this morning, and it works perfectly. But on some eye bolts, there is thin layer of white plastic (I don't know the exact nature or term for it) that get damaged in the process.– alecailNov 13, 2012 at 11:53

If the screw-in action is too difficult, try rubbing the thread along a bar of soap first. Works with screws, too. Jan 23, 2013 at 21:02

2We use these on the farm to anchor eye bolts in stalls and isles, we have several sizes, I still pre drill so I don't split the posts but makes it easy to install eye bolts for cross ties, prior to finding these many years ago I used j hooks on a drill and if no power tools a long screwdriver , or a heavy 16" nail that we use to anchor rubber belting to the ground.– Ed BealJun 17, 2018 at 20:30
Also can be used for wing nuts.

1Seems to me that if a wing nut needs a tool it probably shouldn't be a wing nut. Aug 2, 2021 at 16:49
