Looking for recommendations on which cordless drill I should buy for raising and lowering my stabilizers. Appreciate any advice. Thanks.

I have a bunch of Ryobi+ 18v tools, so I bought their impact driver. All of my batteries and chargers are interchangeable.

Cheap cordless drill from Harbor Freight, on sale. $20 +/- one battery, so I always charge it while loading out for camping. You donโ€™t need the impact action.

I have a 20 volt Dewalt inpact. I use it when we go camping. Never had anybody says anything to me about being loud. We always get to where we are going during the middle of the day so that is not a problem.

Impact drivers are loud. Be prepared to get dirty looks from your neighbors!

Most any 18 volt will work fine, especially the 2 speed ones with a high speed and a lower speed with more torque. I started with a 12 volt Craftsman single speed that worked well. You really donโ€™t need an impact. They are stabilizers, not jacks.

I have a few kits from different manufacturers but the Ryobi stuff lives in the trailer. I use the impact on 2 for the jacks.

Most of us with staabilizer jacks use this Milwaukee, but you could probably get something smaller if you're on a budget. The weaker ones sometimes don't do anything tho.
