Harbor Frt Cordless Drill or Impact
Scissor jacks are being installed on the trailer. Looking for an inexpensive cordless driver to raise and lower the jacks. Thanks, Pat

Dewalt Impact
I carry this one. Why? It will knock loose and take the lug nuts off the tow vehicle and camper in the case of a flat and run the jacks up and down without effort. I have used it on a number of campers not my own because someone could not get their wheel off to change a flat.
Caution: It is capable of OVER torquing the lug nuts with 300 ft-lbs.
Jack stands are run only to touch the blocks and set to correct tension by hand crank.
Lug nuts are started on by hand and short burst for run up with wrench. Same here torqued only by hand.
You will need impact capable sockets---the standard ones it will split open. Also another advantage the wheel does not have to be in contact with the ground when knocking the lug nuts loose.
