I have an AF1150 and the motors are shot, I use the manual switch and a Makita drill to lower the jacks to the ground but then have to use a large ratchet wrench once it is off the springs of the truck. I do not want to use an impact wrench it might damage the fittings on the Jack /

You need a 1/2 inch, battery, 24 volt, DeWalt Hammer drill. Yes you turn off the hammer option. It has 450 INCH pounds of torque. When you pull the trigger SOMETHING moves. I bought mine to raise the roof on our old popup. Now I use it to lower the stabilizers. I can pick up the whole TT with it.
I understand newer 18 volt, and 20 volt drills have better torque now. Yes you need torque. And it can be had in a higher voltage drill.. but they are not so cheap. A 9, or 12 volt won't do it.
