Tongue jack from manual to electric for a few bucks.
Cut of the crank cut a thread on the leftover pin put on a long nut with a set screw done.
A friend welded a socket on the crank, so I can also use it manualy.
 
If you want something done right, do it yourself.

I was going to do something like this but I was not sure if my 19 volt drill would drive it.

You might also consider replacing your tongue jack with a jack that mounts on the side of the frame.  It has an easy crank and a wheel attached which makes fine tuning your landing position much easier.  I purchased ours for about $65. on Amazon.  Safe Travels.

I have one but I never put it on because it would not fit. with the cargo carrier and WDH brackets.
