Not sure about gears in scissors jacks, mine are just a long threaded rod with a nut attached to the opposite leg of the jack. My guess on any caution regarding impact wrenches would be that they are more powerful and can raise the jack too high putting excess stress on the jack possibly causing it to bend or to twist the frame. You (well, me anyway) cranking it by hand or with a battery power drill probably can't put enough torque on the jack to get that much stress on the threaded rod. An impact wrench, on the other hand can run the jack upall the way and then strip out the threaded rod if you keep applying power.

i don't know if it was a sticker, or what, but i seen it. i for one don't usually worry about warrent's on things like this. i find its usually just easier to change it out on your own.

You've got that right!!! Fix it yourself with a $20 jack and a couple of bolts or spend $50 in fuel to drag it down to the dealer's service center, waste a day waiting for it, and hope that they say it's covered under warranty, who knows how much you'll spend in the "camping store" while there.... Much MUCH cheaper to just replace the jack and be done with it ROFLMAO

The scissor jacks are stabilizers not levelers. You will damage your frame tring to pick up your rig with them.

I like the Ryobi 18v right angle drill with the green lithium battery. I find it a bit easier to use than the normal drill. Seems to have more torque. Have not tried an impact and probably wont. I do carry a 24v impact for tire changes but have never used it. At home I use a corded one that lets me set the torque for dealing with lug nuts.
