Wireless impact driver for manual stabilizer jacks

We just brought home our new camper and it has the manual stabilizer jacks, our previous one had electric jacks. I've seen folks at some of the CG's use a drill to lower the jacks rather than hand crank. What kind of wireless drill am I looking for. I went to a tool place this afternoon and they wanted to sell me something for $299. So I thought I'd do some research first and and check what is the norm. Thanks for any help/suggestions.

I have a 20 volt cordless drill that works great. I would avoid an impact drill. You can get the socket on Amazon for around 5 bucks. Just keep the threads clean and the drill will work great.Remember, its not the Volt size, its the torque you get from it.

Any 12v cordless drill will do the job easily. Keep the threads lubed and you wont have an issue.

I wouldn't use an impact drill on stabilizers. Standard drill - OK. Impact - NO.

Do you need a drill for anything else?
In my old trailer I used an 18v Dewalt. But I had that drill for other uses.
A 12v wow do just as well.
