Someone here posted earlier of a crank handle they made. He extended the handle quite a bit for more leverage. I think he could have gone into business from the amount of us here that wanted one.

I would not use a power drill. These gears are not the most robust and fear they won't last long with that much torque and speed.
FWIW Northstar has come out with a power top on some of their models.
