Funny. This 70+ year old starts to giggle when some fit, "young" 45 year-old hauls out his cordless and lowers the stabilizer. Does it in probably 10 secs ---- twice as fast as my slow, hand-driven crank.
Yes, holding down those remote buttons and cordlesss triggers is really tough.
I am not young unless you call 60 young. The reason I like using the drill, I know I have the same torque for each jack. No twisting of the trailer frame.

My 2010 Sprinter had the electric jacks, and I thought that was the way to go, but I have found for unleveled surfaces the manual jacks require less cribbing. I asked Keystone why they stopped using the electric jacks, and I guess they had too many warrantee issues with them.
