BAL scissor jacks

Question

Got a quick question for you guys, i have the BAL scissor jacks on my travel trailer and my crank seems to have grown legs and walked off. I have the trailer in storage and not here at the house to check. My question is the size of the socket size to raise and lower them. I think i read somewhere that its just a 3/4 inch, does anyone know this? I was thinking of just using a socket instead of going out and buying a handle.

Just do everyone around you a favor.  Use a regular drill, not an impact drill. A camper not far from me was pulling up camp pretty early in the morning, boy was that thing loud!

I don't know about yours but mine is 19 mm, which is slightly smaller than a 3/4 inch. While a 3/4 inch may still work, the 19mm on mine is a perfect fit.
