I don't know the long term effects of using an impact so I'm going back to using a drill. Works fine for me.
Seems like a low speed 1/2 inch cordless drill would be the best.
Being that the retail kits use what looks like a starter motor and gearbox to run the jacks, I think you are dreaming that a low buck cordless drill will do the job. :2cents:
Were they 4-5 ah batteries or some of the little ones that come with drills? They豎*e made to go on other high load tools like a grinder and circular saw so high load in a drill for 30 seconds shouldn遞 hurt it.
Not on an RV but I use a Milwaukee M18 brushless for all of my trailers including cranking my boat on. I just welded a 3/4" nut on each of the crank shafts. On low it's about 3x faster than manual. Seems like my impact would be hard on the roll pins on my trailer jacks gears.
