Power Jack Help

I should have purchased a power jack but….now I’m finally going to. What brand or model does escape put on a 21C? Any recommendations on a quality jack would be appreciated.

The ones that plug into your truck’s trailer plug look pretty slick. Any downside?

I looked at a 21 yesterday and the owner removed the crank handle and replaced it with 50 cent bolt. He now uses his battery powered drill to raise and lower.

It works great! He said he saw this on this forum.

A great way to save some hard earned cash.

Yes that was a clever alternative and I did it. Worked great…but my offset drill got sold with my boat. It would be of interest as to how many volts it takes to drive it. Mine was a 28 volt monster.

it was just the standard Dewalt drill, not the little hammer drill. I think it was one of the newer 20v ones you can buy at Home Depot. Nothing bigger than that for sure.

I see your are in the US…Harbor Freight has the exact model I have on my trailer and it works great. Even has built in led lights. The handle in the picture removes of course.
