- BurbManExplorer IIMost of us with staabilizer jacks use this Milwaukee, but you could probably get something smaller if you're on a budget. The weaker ones sometimes don't do anything tho.
- bgumExplorerNeed at least 18 volts drill and a turn with hand crank.
- pinesmanExplorerI use a small cordless dewalt impact driver. It works great
- amxpressExplorerI have a Milwaukee 18V that I already had for my job. If/when it goes, I’m going to Harbor Frieght and buy a $30 cordless drill.
- 1320FastbackExplorerI have a few kits from different manufacturers but the Ryobi stuff lives in the trailer. I use the impact on 2 for the jacks.
- BB_TXNomadMost any 18 volt will work fine, especially the 2 speed ones with a high speed and a lower speed with more torque. I started with a 12 volt Craftsman single speed that worked well. You really don’t need an impact. They are stabilizers, not jacks.
- penguin149ExplorerImpact drivers are loud. Be prepared to get dirty looks from your neighbors!
- parcanyExplorerI have a 20 volt Dewalt inpact. I use it when we go camping. Never had anybody says anything to me about being loud. We always get to where we are going during the middle of the day so that is not a problem.
- BoomerwepsExplorerCheap cordless drill from Harbor Freight, on sale. $20 +/- one battery, so I always charge it while loading out for camping. You don’t need the impact action.
- BobboExplorer III have a bunch of Ryobi+ 18v tools, so I bought their impact driver. All of my batteries and chargers are interchangeable.
