Using a drill to lift your popup

[SoCalRailFan]

So recently I bought one of those special sockets to adapt to a 3/8" drill extension for lifting my popup, because I'm getting lazy. After lifting the popup 2 times my drill burned out. I'm stumped. I used a Craftsman 6 amp big ass drill. It lifted the trailer fine, but when I went to lower it it was dead as can be.

What are some of you using to lift your popups?

A bigger drill with an extra battery drill

Or a corded drill if you have power closeby.

You need a high torque cordless drill with at least 400 pounds of torque, it should have a high & low setting. Use the low speed (high torque) mode when lifting or lowering. The DeWalt, Hitahci and Craftsman 18 to 19.2 volt drills seem to be very popular. I used one years ago with my pop up and made my own Socket Gennie from an old spark plug socket.
