I would lie to use a cordless drill with the proper socket to raise and lower the stabilizing jacks..anybody know the size of socket I'll need? I tried some I have, but it looks like metric..

Our dealer made our drill socket by cutting it off one of the used hand cranks they had stockpiled. They ground flats on it to keep it from rotating once the chuck is tightened.
