I have a question. Been looking at hydraulic jacks, awful expensive. Has anyone ever used a cordless impact wrench to raise & lower trailer. Would not tack much to weld harden bolt onto flanges to line up to dogs on trailer & use socket over bolt head on cordless impact to raise & lower. Milwaukee tool has 3/4" cordless impact with 525ft.lbs of torque costs about $450 at Home Depot. I have 2 trailers could use one set for both.

Probably would work until the battery went dead. Or when you go to sell the trailer(s) would the drill go with it (them)? Check into an electric jack. There was a thread on here a few months ago about mounting your own. Cost is about the same as your drill.
