Cordless drill for scissor jacks
Looking to purchase a cordless drill to raise and lower the four scissor jacks on my TT. A make and model number with a strong tork just for that would be very helpful. Thank you

I used a electrical 1/4" drill for a few years of FT. Average 4 days per site. For some UNKNOWN reason (maybe because the speed of the drill) The spring pin that held the long screw into the jacks were sheared off. This happen to 3 of the jacks over a period of 2 years. I changed to a MUCH slower 3/4 inch impact wrench and no problems.
I think either will work, if you run the drill at as slow speed. Why do speed have any effect -- I do not know but I think is is because of the impact of when the screw hit the stop point.
