Thank you all for your replies and commentaries - some of them are at the opposite ends, but that's fine! That helps us make a better personal decision.
All my previous RVs had the single leg stabilizers. I've always said that I would keep using the manual crank if I were to get an RV with scissor jacks. Well, our 1st week-end with our new to us Breeze & scissors jacks proved that I was wrong. Our campsite was very uneven (provincial park), and I had to to lower the jacks quite a lot to make them touch the wooden blocks on the ground. That's when my lower back - acting up again - sent the message that I should reconsider my opinion on the drill/socket combo. In my case, the drill combo will not be complicating this simple task, but rather save me for a week-end of lower back pain.
No worries: I don't use the stabs to jack up the trailer!
Thanks for your input, and happy camping everyone!
PS: with this new to us trailer, I will be posting more questions in the coming days. Help is always appreciated.
