The threaded rod comprises a cavity to insert a screw nut and bolt assembly. A socket driver is installed over the screw nut and bolt assembly. The leveling foot tool is mounted on a drill. The first base of the leveling foot tool has one or more holes through which one or more screw nut and bolt assemblies are threaded. A leveling foot, which is to be installed comprises a second base and a threaded rod. The second base of the leveling foot comprises one or more holes to receive the one or more screw assemblies of the leveling foot tool. Using the rotational and the translational motion of the drill, the threaded rod of the leveling foot is drilled into a threaded hole of a leg of a machine. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A leveling foot tool comprising: a first base that engages a second base of a leveling foot; a threaded rod comprising a cavity, wherein the threaded rod is rotatable with respect to the first base, and wherein an end of the threaded rod is configured to be received by the first base; a screw nut and bolt assembly that is configured to be threaded into the cavity; a socket driver that is configured to be installed over the screw nut and bolt assembly, wherein in response to the socket driver being rotated by a drill, the first base rotates the second base of the leveling foot, driving the leveling foot into a leg of a conveyor system. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The leveling foot tool of claim 1, wherein the first base comprises a first set of one or more holes, and wherein one or more screw nuts are inserted through the first set of one or more holes in the first base, wherein the one or more screw nuts engage with a second set of one or more holes in the second base of the leveling foot. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The leveling foot tool of claim 2, wherein the one or more screw nuts which are inserted through the first set of one or more holes in the first base further comprise one or more flat washers. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The leveling foot tool of claim 1, wherein the screw nut and bolt assembly comprises a hex nut and a hex bolt. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The leveling foot tool of claim 4, wherein the hex nut is attached to the hex bolt using a permanent thread locker. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The leveling foot tool of claim 4, wherein the hex nut is attached to the hex bolt using an adhesive. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The leveling foot tool of claim 1, wherein the screw nut and bolt assembly is further configured to be attached to the cavity of the threaded rod using a permanent thread locker. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The leveling foot tool of claim 1, wherein the screw nut and bolt assembly is further configured to be attached to the cavity of the threaded rod using an adhesive. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The leveling foot tool of claim 1, wherein the socket driver is configured to be installed over the screw nut and bolt assembly using an adhesive. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The leveling foot tool of claim 1, wherein the socket driver is configured to be attached with a drill chuck. ### Claim 11 A device for driving a leveling foot, the device comprising: a drill chuck, wherein the drill chuck is part of a drill; a first base that engages a second base of the leveling foot; a threaded rod comprising a cavity, wherein the threaded rod is rotatable relative to the first base, and wherein an end of the threaded rod is configured to be received by the first base; a screw nut and bolt assembly that is configured to be threaded into the cavity; and a socket driver that is configured to be installed over the screw nut and bolt assembly, wherein in response to the socket driver being rotated by the drill, the first base rotates the second base of the leveling foot, driving the leveling foot into a leg of a conveyor system. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein the socket driver is further configured to be coupled to the drill chuck and to rotate about a central axis to rotate the drill chuck. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein the leveling foot is configured to be disengaged from the device when the leveling foot is driven into the leg of the conveyor system. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein the first base comprises a first set of one or more holes, and wherein one or more screw nuts are inserted through the first set of one or more holes in the first base, wherein the one or more screw nuts engage with a second set of one or more holes in the second base of the leveling foot. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein the screw nut and bolt assembly comprises a hex nut and a hex bolt. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The device of claim 15, wherein the hex nut is attached to the hex bolt using a permanent thread locker. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The device of claim 15, wherein the hex nut is attached to the hex bolt using an adhesive. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein the screw nut and bolt assembly is further configured to be attached to the cavity of the threaded rod using a permanent thread locker. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein the screw nut and bolt assembly is further configured to be attached to the cavity of the threaded rod using an adhesive. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11) The device of claim 11, wherein the socket driver is configured to be installed over the screw nut and bolt assembly using an adhesive.
