I've used 18 volt Milwaukee cordless drill for years in the construction business. I have used the same drill to raise a TC but it was a small 8' pop-up.

I would have to guess that a modern day 18v or higher voltage drill with a brush-less motor made by Milwaukee, DeWalt, or other good brand would have more power than the motors that came with your jacks.
