A strong reverable, variable speed drill will work best. I use a Milwaukee  
1/2 horse magnum.

Many years ago my partner and I tried to think of exotic uses for used tuning 
pins. Things like necklaces, or ear rings, or door chimes. But we discovered 
that by the time we either cleaned them ourselves, or had it done, it was 
cheaper to buy new ones. 

Unless you want to use them for anchors, or ballast in the back of your car, 
or if you are a pack rat who never throws anything away, the best thing is to 
donate them to the local landfill.
