What size socket for power drill operation of stab jacks

We picked up this ultra speed socket from CW and it works great. Similar variations available from other retailers.

I chuck up a alan wrench in my drill. Mine have a whole in the nut and I just stick it in there and works fine.

Judging from the specs of the two in the replies, you need a 3/4" socket, a 1/4" or 3/8" hex to !/4" or 3/8" square drive for the drill. I would buy a midrange 3/8" battery powered drill motor with 18 volt batteries. All of which can be purchased from, Home Depot, Lowes, ACE Hardware, Do It Centers and about a thousand hardware and tool stores.

I like Harbor Freight's BLACK sockets(impact type), they are inexpensive and so far they have been working well for me in auto and MoHo repairs and tire changing. The cheap 18 volt drill motors from HF are so so, I don't know about their upper end drill motors. The ones that come with the LED flashlight for about $18.99 are throw away items for me. I have two of them and if they get dropped or in any way damaged on the road, I just throw them away.

Mine are 3/4" if I remember correctly. :)

Does it have the bolt head or the tube with the hole in the side?
- Bolt head is usually 3/4inch.
- Tube in the side was what we used to have and we got a larger allen wrench that would fit the drill and fit in the hole. That worked well till we replaced the stabilizers.

Canadian Tire.The make and model of the jacks may be Googled and you will get the size information you need.
Another choice would be Greg Industries, 5141 - 76A Street Close.

what option is there if the stabs have neither a bolt head or an allen / hex key hole? on the KZ my stabs have a piece of metal that's been hammered flat on the end, and it fits into a slot cut into the round tube of the jack handle

Cut it off with a hacksaw with a stub left and chuck that in a drill.
Good Luck, Mike

thats what I thought :(

If I come across a 2nd jack handle that's the same, I'll cut one down to chuck in a drill... like having the manual handle just in case.
