Hmmm, threaded rod long enough to go through the spool and leave room to attach drill on end. Two large washers and two nuts same as threaded rod. Insert rod through spool and place a large washer on either side of spool. tighten the nuts just enough to provide tension to spin the spool. Turn on drill and try it, if if slips, tighten nuts some more.
