Drill recommendations
My Milwaukee 18v has died and I need a replacement to run the manual jacks up and down. Any and all recommendations appreciated.

Just understand that more is not necessarily better.
do a little research on what is needed. you can usually find torque specs.
Realize that as the ft/lbs go up, you are stretching the threads of the bolt. Over tightening all things may give you a sense of security that can back fire if you are stripping the threads.
trailer tire bolts may be less than 100 lbs. bolting into aluminum is much less.
If you don't have a torque wrench borrow one and see what you need for this application, then buy on what your needs require not on buying the biggest for the sake of having it.
unless you are under the chassis of your rig, you don't need 200 ft/lbs of torque.
