I saw my neighbor pull out a cordless drill, and I thought, 'That's what I need!'
Went down and bought a socket, and adapter for drill (I hate buying tools I already own, back at my S&B). Got back to camp and, nope. Ok for stabilizing, but not for leveling -- drill just twists in my hands.
My van is now all cattywhompus, and my hands have given out for the week. Ideas?
To actually answer your question: If the electric drill is too much to handle because you've tightened the jacks too tight, just replace the electric drill with a break handle the same size as the socket. Plenty of leverage to regain control of the situation. May be a bit slow, but will make the effort, duck soup.
