- frankwpExplorerI made one from a socket (can't remember the size) that I cut a slot in on either side, then used it with a 1/2" drive drill adapter. A Dewalt 18V drill in low gear had plenty of power & speed to raise & lower the top. So easy & fast. I also used it for the stabilizers
An impact driver would work, but would draw a lynch mob before you could get the top raised. - tatestExplorer IIYou can probably find a large drill or power wrench with enough torque, but then will you have enough leverage on the drill to hold it against the torque? The length of the crank arm is a clue as to how much leverage you need.
Electric power lifts for PUPs have quite different gearing from that of the crank. Maybe someone makes a reduction gear for the crank-up that makes a small drill usable? - jerryjay11ExplorerCheck any camping supply. I had one that I sent to my daughter when I no longer needed it.
